Re: overwriting with Rpms

This should be an easy one. I want to install an RPM for Mozilla to
update it. If I try I get a message that it conflicts with the current
version. Is there a command which overwrites the current version using
RPM's?
rpm -ivh file.rpm This is to install an RPM..
rpm -Uvh file.rpm This will upgrade and RPM..
rpm -Fvh file.rpm This will freshen the installed RPM with a newer
one if availible..
Take note of the case of the options..
You are probably needing -Uvh.. using -Fvh is used when you have a
directory of RPM's and only want to install the newer versions of
already installed RPM's..
later..
