[SWLUG] Mandrake 10.1 + Media Manager

[bascule]

media manager helps you to set up your software sources or repositories, you 
can disable certain sources in media manager so that you update only from the 
ones you want,
to use urpmi to install a rpm you've downloaded just:
urpmi /path/to/rpm
though reading your question again i think you know this and just wanted to 
know if you can install a single downloaded rpm using the gui? specify the 
directory where your downloaded file is as a source and urpmi will add its 
dependencies to its database, any advantage is i guess, if you have lots of 
downloaded rpms and want urpmi to know about them when you install a 
particular package
of course, most of this is faster on the command line! :)
