sorry, my bad. I actually downloaded all of them into same directory and 
did "sudo smart install gimp-2.6.0-1jv.fc8.i386.rpm" expecting that 
smart will pickup the dependencies from right there. Didn't realize that 
you have to put the names of all the packages as an argument.

I'm running F9 x86_64 and F8 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter.
