If I have a local rpm file, what is the difference between running "rpm -i" and "yum localinstall"?
When I do "rpm -i", I can still see the info via "yum info", so is there a difference?
Doing rpm -i will not help you solve dependency issues. If the package you're installing requires something you don't have, you'll have to go get it manually. yum removes this headache.
