Can I copy an RPM from one machine to another?
Hello there,
I have an RPM installed on a Fedora 8 Linux machine which was installed via yum. That version of the RPM is no longer available in the repo, instead there is a newer beta version. Can I copy an RPM from one machine to another Linux machine and install it there? If not, how do I save an RPM (for future use) before installing it?
I did do several searches, both here and in Google, but I have been unable to find any documentation.
Thank you for any help you can offer!

debuginfo-install
debuginfo-install(1) debuginfo-install(1)
NAME
debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies
SYNOPSIS
debuginfo-install package
DESCRIPTION
debuginfo-install is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package. The package argument can be a wildcard, but
will only match installed packages. debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm.
EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM:
debuginfo-install kernel
WARNING MESSAGES
Could not find debuginfo for:
You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard or glob.
Debuginfo packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message. Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no
multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages.
FILES
As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like
which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO
yum.conf (5)

AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
