The easiest way would be to use redhat-config-packages with the --tree option, and then select everything. Alternatively, you could do it by hand, which requires some playing around to get it right: If you can somehow mount the install directory containing the rpms (which should be easy if its one of yours, eg by nfs) then you can just cd <wherever> rpm -Uvh *rpm and _every_ rpm in that directory will be installed if not so already. This can also be used to update rpms. Be careful with rpms that are compiled for multiple archs, and kernel rpms. Do these first. You should probably do somethimg more like rpm -Uvh [^k]*i686.rpm then all the k*rpm that aren't kernel ones, then rpm -Uvh [^k]*i386.rpm (Conversely, to only update rpms that have previously been installed, use `rpm -Fvh *rpm`) HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <iain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
