Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Can I copy an RPM from one machine to another? Post 302380246 by pludi on Monday 14th of December 2009 03:47:13 PM

You'd copy them the same way as any other file. But as soon as an RPM is installed, it's not needed anymore , not even for an upgrade. So most distributions regularly purge the cache for RPMs to save space, and only the repository management software needs to know where to get it again.

If you need the RPM itself, and didn't download it manually, check the installation media of your distribution.
