ah ok the reason im doing a test is I am building a single cd fedora core load (base+core) with snort, clamav, tripwire, chkrootkit, mondo/mindi, snmp and webmin (with ssl deps). So far its all installing fine and 249 files at 272980k in size for a cd. The only thing left is kickstart automating the configuration to apply the firewall, bastille-linux, and package config changes to make it all tidy.
Since the rpms are in a local directory, I check them to find any dependencies I may have missed and also any problems with bad sigs.
Im going back to 'man rpm' to see if I find out how to tell it to use the regular db as well. But if anyone knows offhand and would post it, that would be great.
Ehm, to do that you omit the "--dbpath /tmp/testdb" parameter, because by default it will use the regular db in /var/lib/rpm. If you want to install signed packages into your test db, make sure, you import the GPG keys into your test db beforehand.
