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.

I'm not sure, but yum will certainly download and install dependencies that are available in its package repository. rpm won't.
If you don't have dependencies, it is the same.
