If I recall this is a default setup for Nautilus. So something is strange. What is your usr ID when you are clicking on them. Also are these rpms local or out on the Internet. Are you clicking in a mozilla, netscape, "Nautilus" or other window. (Test with help upper right or perhaps 'xprop' if you cannot tell from help). IMO, Default on the Internet should be download where you can inspect, install and archive. Also IMO, root should not be surfing the net directly. I am curious. Most rpm packages will already be installed by yum or up2date. There will not be many where you want them to install with a quick click. Most you will want to install from a command line ( rpm -[iU]vh package.rpm). Clearly you do not want to rpm -U a kernel package. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
