rpmrc not found. can't use RPM any further

[shailesh jain <shailesh.jain@xxxxxxxxx>]

Summary: computer crash towards the fag end of RH 9.0 installation left 
RPM unstable. OS seems fine. on trying to use RPM for installing new 
packages asks for rpmrc, and exits.

Queries:

1. is there a default rpmrc that I can copy into /usr/var or wherever 
RPM expects it to be? this for an i686 machine.

2. OS seems to be working fine i.e. all packages are installed. will 
creating rpm database '--initdb' will suffice to extract all the 
necessary info on existing packages?

3. is there a way in which I can load/update full RPM package from 
scratch  (since that ought to fix all the problems) - now that package 
cant be a *.rpm since I dont have a RPM working!!

4. any other alternatives, suggestions welcome

thanks
