Hi Patrick, Assuming that all your rpm updates are in the same directory, you simply have to do rpm -Uvh *.rpm to update each and every packages you've downloaded: -U for the update, -v for the "verbose" mode, so you'll be informed of what exactly has been updated, and the -h flag to see the progress of each updating packages... ciao ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada 418-626-5033 _________________ http://www.penguinpowered.com/~montesquieu mailto:montesquieu@penguinpowered.com ICQ 15933500 ---> http://www.ccfa.org <--- ---> http://www.ccfc.ca <--- _________________ Le Renard: "Voici mon secret.
