Thanks Alfred, I also used rpm -Fvh too. Infact if the package is not installed it doesn't do anything but if it is installed it upgrades. But it doesn't work as I expected because: for upgrading package bind, for example, I was forced to erase the old version and reinstall the new version. This in not an automatically work as I would like to have but I must do single commands to resolve this case and the dependency problems. I am feared that I must spend much time to exchange CD with the updates from one server to another.

I have all the RPMs on /var/spool/up2date.

Bye
