Good advice from Jim Perrin. Easy to break your system by replacing
core packages.
Have you started with some basics like reading the docs at
http://www.rpm.org/
?
Try to google on things like
rpmbuild
rpm howto
rpm tutorial
which will yield many helpful getting-started pages.
There is a section near the top of
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel
about setting up a non-root build environment on CentOS.
If you just want to practice building/installing RPMS start with
packages that are not part of CentOS. Study the spec files from some
CentOS src.rpm files to see good examples of how it should be done.
Once you get the build environment set up, as your normal non-root user
do:
$ rpm -i /path/to/rpm/foo-1.2.3-el4.src.rpm
This will install everything under the user's directory, usually in
~/rpmbuild/...
Good luck learning rpm packaging.
