CenOS 5.4 x64 I'm stuck at the command-line. I'm only familiar with the RPM command, but AFAIK, that cannot automatically resolve any dependencies when installing packages. Is there a command-line utility that I can force to automatically install all the dependencies for a particular package? I seem to remember a new UI was added recently that could, but I have to complete this from a prompt. Marco
