Have a look

man rpm
man yum

HTH,

Thanks. I have had a look at "man yum", and when I try to install locally 
yum tries to go into Internet. I do not know what I am doing wrong, but as 
far as I could see man gives no instructions to install a local package. 
Surely I am wrong, but ..... (dummy newbie).
