Mandrake has a nice upgrade util built in, but takes forever to download stuff over the web, and something always eventually blows up and stops the process. Instead, I downloaded all the updates (*.rpm's) and put 'em on a CD. Now...

How do I write the RPM command line to read in all the updates off the CD and install them? I know it's something along the lines of rpm *.rpm, but I don't know what the switches are...

Thanks!

Try a forum search for *.rpm. I've seen this command used before.
And if it's on a CD, it will still blow up. RPMs are notorious for blowing up.

'man rpm' should give you the options you need.

Most commands etc. come with man pages.
