Thanks so much, Michael! So, I've copied over the contents of the
archives from one machine to the other. Now, here's a silly question:
how do I tell Synaptic to use those files to do an upgrade? When I
start up Syanptic, it doesn't seem to acknowledge that the 500MB of RPMs
are there. If I try something like "add downloaded packages", Synaptic
tells me that this hasn't been implemented for RPMs, patches welcome.
Do I need to use the command line and RPMI or something else to do the
upgrade?
