maybe, but smart has the advantage which I like. In case you have a 
local *.rpm with unsatisfied dependencies on your system, installing 
this rpm through "smart install" will make smart pull all of those from 
the repositories on the fly (provided they are available there), instead 
of spitting the angry error messages into STDOUT like "rpm -ivh" does. 
That was my motivation.

I'm running F9 x86_64 and F8 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter.

/The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./
