Ok...I might be over looking something big time, but how do I force it to 
install from a local
file?  IE install the file I have sitting in 
/root/legato/LGTOclnt/lgtoclnt-6.1.3-1.i386.rpm

apt-get install lgtoclnt-6.1.3-1.i386.rpm  doesn't work
apt-get install file:///root/legato/LGTOclnt/lgtoclnt-6.1.3-1.i386.rpm

doesn't work
