So, I have copied the rpms of openoffice already downloaded to a temporary directory, and executing this command, as shown below, did not work either (see below). First it found the dependency on openoffice.org-math, which has not been downloaded yet, but stoped there. Then, I have downloaded it manually plus two other files (pyuno and testools), run again and found that yum wanted to download everything again, reporting wrong sizes as before. > # rpm -Fvh *rpm --nodeps --nosignature Isn't it dangerous bypassing the dependency check?

But, isn't yum the application that should handle all this stuff?, as stated in the Fedora Core documentation. So, is yum capable of installing/updating these large packages from local rpms?
