Can up2date and/or yum be used to install a specific RPM pkg?  From my
understanding yum or up2date are used to make sure you have the latest RPMs
installed on you machine.  But if I want to install a new RPM app, can I use
yum to install it and have it d/l all necessary dependencies for it
automatically?  If not, is there something else out there that will allow me
to do this?

Thanks!
