RPM Question

[thonot]

Can I pipe the output of the ls command into rpm to install/upgrade all of the packages in a directory? I was thinking of something along the lines of: ls | rpm ?----?
If that won't work is there any other way to install all the packages in a directory from the commandline???

rpm -Uvh `ls *.rpm`

Glad I could help though i should have just said `rpm -Uvh *.rpm` but it was kinda late when I posted it :P
