Thanks for the quick reponses guys - tried that and it still does not work which tells me I need those PG repos afterall, I guess. No biggie. My desired for a "clean" system has been smashed, but I'll live :-)
did yum say what specific packages it needed ? I'm pretty sure you have to use 'yum localinstall' to install from an rpm file, and not just 'install'...
from man yum: * localinstall rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...] (maintained for legacy reasons only - use install) and further: If the name is a file, then install works like localinstall.
Actually, I've been using localinstall, but I started to use install a few months ago.
