RPM and RPMS

Guys this may sound really stupied but I was wondering what flag would I use to install a rpms file.

On file.rpm I would use:

rpm -ivh filename.rpm
or
rpm -Uvh filename.rpm , plus --nodeps, --force , blah, blah, blah

BUT what do I do with a filename.rpms ???? :oops:

rename it to .rpm ?!! :D

Sorry , I never heard of a format that uses .rpms.
Try doing [code:1]file <filename>.rpms[/code:1]

For that you need to execute rpmbuild (or the equivalent rpm --rebuild).

from what I know .rpms is usually the source code of the item you are trying to install. but I may be wrong.... but I dont think I am.

and I believe that you can just use rpm for it.... but I would assume you already tried that.

Thanks,
