How To cache RPM Packages While Installing

DukeNukem · 22-11-2007, 10:52 AM

Hi there to all of You,

Does any one know how to keep RPM Packages which are installed with
"rpm -ivh XXXX.rpm", so that if i format my PC, (Which i do once or twice in a week (don ask why or if iam a j@#$a@@) ) i can install then without Connecting to the Net

This Will Be a great help to Me

your query is inappropriate, what exactly do you want ? i'm assuming that you have an rpm packaged distro... for fedora rpms are stored in /var/cache/yum, for mandriva its /var/cache/urpmi/rpms (but while installing packages thru urpmi in mandriva instead of using "urpmi package_name.rpm" use "urpmi noclean package_name.rpm" this will not delete package after installation.)
