You might try:

  alias 'rpm -i' ='rpm -iv'
in .bashrc.

But that might not work for complicated installs.  Dunno.  I'm also partial 
to the -h flag on installs, gives you a little hash mark progress bar.

I suppose we could get konsole to make modifications to .bashrc, or 
source its own rc file, but that would doubtless piss off hordes of 
old-school UNIX geeks.  Do I smell configuration for Konsole in the control 
panel?

Call youself what you please, seems to me you illustrated the point - you 
didn't know what to do, so you tried it, then went and asked.  Resourceful, a 
model Linux-learner.  Even smarter, you asked the question, "Does it really 
need to work this way?"  That's all I really meant by moderately 
experienced users....
