    rpm - how to resolve dependencies

    Dear Experts
    I have copied all the rpms from installation media to /sles-source directory.
    Prblm is that when i have to install some rpm, it has some dependencies, that have to be resolved/installed, eg if have to install MozillaFirefox rpm, it fails, because first i have to installed mozilla-nss and mozilla-nspr.
    so is there any sol... i.e say if i have to installed an rpm, all the dependencies resolves/installed automatically.

    Plz help
    Regards

    You should be using YaST to install your rpms. If you have copied the directory fully and correctly it will be possible to add it as an installation source in YaST. If you are unsure check out This link adding the source as a local folder. All dependencies will automagically be sorted out for you.
