Might you give a brief example of the danger.
ktamaga in the supplementary KDE section contained *all* of /opt/kde3, including great portions of kdebase and/or kdelibs, with --force you would overwrite those...
Nick -- even though I don't use --force, I have now taken to add the following: rpm -Uvh *.rpm 2>&1 | tee (path)/"filename.txt" what that does is using "stdout", writes to "filename.txt" the messages that are generated drung the install. Usually they are just a list of rpms followed by ########## Other times, they are more interesting and I can see if there were any "gliches" during the install. Also if a rpm won't install, I "mv" it to a sub directoru of my install directoruy. The most typical reason for a failure is I had already installed the rpm (say as part of security patch; other times, it was because I got lazy in what I had downloaded, or SuSE just hadn't built the new rpm yet.
