        .RPM files are RedHat packages. I have not used them myself (I
used to use Debian on my PC) but you should find the RedHat package
manager software and use it to install those .RPM packages.

        I know the information here is meagre, but I hope you are able
to use it to get started on the details through the FAQs on installing
RedHat packages. Best of luck!

Sean & Melissa Torgerson a *crit :
See how to

or

man rpm

generaly, the packtage is name_packtage.ppc.rpm

for install rpm -ivh name_package.ppc.rpm
for upgrade rpm-Uvh name_package.ppc.rpm
for erase rpm -e name_packtage.ppc.rpm

For check dep all systems dependance rpm -Va

If you find .src.rpm
use rpm --rebuild name_packtage.src.rpm (and wait...)
after rpm -Uvh name_packtage in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS.

Bye
