I downloaded a lot of kde rpms and instead of installing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can do so all at once with some command?

Hi,
1) create a new folder and call it -say- RPM. 2) move all your rpms to that folder (mv *.rpm RPM) 3) cd into folder RPM 4) become root (su + passwd) 5) without the quotation marks, type "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"
Oh, for God's sake, don't forget this essential step: 4a) CROSS YOUR FINGERS
- or, if you're agnostic, try the command with '--test'. Eg: rpm --test -Uvh *.rpm (To udate/install everything in ./) rpm --test -Fvh *.rpm (To only udate already installed pkgs) This makes rpm go through the motions, and will tell you if there are unmet dependencies. HTH /Jon -- Just say "know!"
