either double click the icon to install it or use this in the CLI.
rpm -ivh package.rpm
and to uninstall use this:
rpm -e package

you type it in the console...

go to run in the menu.. type xterm... then type in the rpm directions from above

so basicly i go to the run from the startmenu and instead of typing the rpm -e i type xterm then the rpm commands?
