Are you sure about that? rpm -Uvh *.rpm will install OR UPGRADE all .rpm
files in the current directory verbosely and with hashes.
From man rpm:
-U, --upgrade
Upgrade the package currently installed to the ver-
sion in the new RPM. This is the same as install,
except all other version of the package are removed
from the system.
What have I missed?
Regards,
Sheldon.
