For redhat specific question like how to install RPMs you should ask on a redhat specific forum. You may also just read the RPM HowTo here: http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/ (especially the section entitled "Using RPM") Also note, that you downloaded a "source" RPM. If you don't know what a src.rpm is for you probably don't want it. You want a binary RPM for your specific platform instead (i386.rpm or athlon.rpm etc.) If you still want to install your source RPM, read this (http://www.siliconvalleyccie.com/linux-hn/rpm.htm#_Toc85996774) article for example. -- claudio
