since you say "additional package" in the thread title, I'll guess you've
already got a working Fedora system but are adding a few more packages. yes?
[tt][size:3]Package files for install, upgrade and query operations may be specified
as an _ftp_ or _http_ style URL:
ftp://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/path/to/package.rpm
If the :PASSWORD portion is omitted, the password will be prompted for
(once per user/hostname pair). If both the user and password are omitted,
anonymous ftp is used. In all cases, passive (PASV) ftp transfers are
performed.
[/tt]
example: rpm ftp://hostname.example.com/redhat/i386/packagename.rpm
hope this helps.
