    Angry Installing new programs

    I have just started using Linux again (forced to use Redhat). I remembered how to set most everything up, but I am having trouble with installing programs. If anyone could help me with, lets say, RPM files, I would be in they're debt.

    You can use gnoRPM if you have Gnome installed, or the KDE package tool in KDE; otherwise, you could do it from the command line:

    rpm -i <filename>.rpm

    just click it, enter root password in the box, it installs itself, unless it's an rpm for older distributions.
    or from command line:
    $ su
    $ rpm -i your_package.rpm
