[afnog] installing multiple rpms

[Mukasa Assey Alfred]

I thought i would leave --nodeps in that command so that i don't have to 
worry about the order of installation of the rpms.

I figured that rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm will pick rpms in alphabetical 
order or something like that...., thus some packages would be installed 
before their dependencies.

Don't you think --nodeps would help in fixing such issues?

--assey.
