Not likely to do what he wants, I don't think. rpm will look at the rpm database under the directory given in the --root argument. In this case, it won't exist, and most packages will fail to install complaining about dependencies. In fact, before even getting that far, the database would probably have to be initialized. After testing, even as root: [root@paradox tmp]# rpm -ivh --root /home/mfratoni/devel/slinky/tmp/ logsentry-1.1.1-1.i386.rpm error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) error: cannot open Packages database in /home/mfratoni/devel/slinky/tmp/var/lib/rpm - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj0Gm40ACgkQn/07WoAb/SuGcQCeMvMbraYxL5RzkuGwgQP17+Mc SrUAnRXZk9u3Eg35zsEhJAJtAeXROzv1 =Tyn0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
