[Yum] Run yum install with RPM Options "--force --nodeps --noscripts" ?

[Jim Perrin]

SOME rpm options are supported, but may have different names. For example, 
there is an --installroot=/your/path/here/ option. However, yum will likely 
never support --force or --nodeps, as they defeat the purpose of a good 
package management system. The --nodeps option for a program that relies on 
tracking dependencies to function properly just seems silly.
