The above contains a link for downloading RPM, plus a bunch of RPMs you can
grab.
Be warned: The perl RPM is broken, and I have been unsuccessful in
contacting the provider regarding this. Don't bother downloading it.
Once you've downloaded and installed RPM, don't forget to run "rpm
--initdb" to initialise your database.
You'll probably have to use the --ignoreos flag when installing RPMs
(unless your running on NT I think).
Hope that gets you started.
