Hi again,
Ok, so I downloaded the modules and now how do I install them?
I tried rpm -Fvh * as suggested in thread but get a lot of warnings about dependencies... Yes... I guess your answers: use "-force" method... Isn't it brute force ? I mean, in the end all dependencies are OK?
No, you shouldn't use --force unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. That option can easily destroy things. --nodeps is the option to use to ignore dependencies, which isn't as destructive, but should nevertheless only be used if you know what you're doing. Note that if you have any -devel packages installed you need to install development/*.rpm and base/*.rpm at the same time to avoid dependency errors. If you do install from the development directory, you should probably first remove the qt-man and qt-designer packages, as they clash with their qt3 counterparts.
I tried using you update module, configuring hard disk source in the expert window. It doesn't work. Can YOU install/update packages from harddisk at least?
Theoretically, you could put the packages in a YOU directory structure and create patch files to allow YOU to see them. Take a look at the files in the patches/ directory in the update tree to see what you'd need to do. //Anders
