  • This is usefull only for people who use a GUI. You should at least make reference to people who are doing this in a terminal (RPM -i).
  • It IS useful! Had the original poster known anything about the command line and rpm switches, he wouldn't have asked "how do I install an RPM"! The answer is VERY APPROPRIATE for that question.
