You can also do yum install /path/to.rpm
If you use the rpm command directly yum complains about it, butt it's no big deal if it does.

thnx for the help! 

there are a handful of apps that i want to install but i can't find 
them in the repos. some of them are older files that are no longer
supported. i want them because the newer versions don't work as
well.

Hi Trin,

Go to pbone.net, find the package (rpm) you want to install.

Download the package.

switch to root and install the package
rpm -ivh package.rpm

If you can't find the package for SL on phone, then it
gets interesting.

What did you have in mind?
