Make the RPM available via HTTP or FTP and use rpm on the command line to download and install it in a single step: rpm -ivh http://servername/filename.rpm or rpm --install --verbose --hash http://servername/filename.rpm Or copy the RPM to the server using Samba or NFS, then install it locally using rpm on the command line: rpm -ivh /path/to/filename.rpm I think the graphical package managers can be told where to look for RPMs. But if you already know where the file is, why not simply specify the location on the command line instead of spending time trying to reconfigure a GUI app?
