You want to use RPM. There should be a control center for your RH8 and that center should include a section called software management and the like, which will allow you to (un)install software.

the command line looks like :
rpm -ivh <programname.version.rpm>

thanks to all of you, i figured out how to install stuff, not as easy as windos and mac.:) :D

But wait, it gets easier and better. Because, RPM not only handles installing and uninstalling, you can also use it to see details on each RPM package installed, including what the package installs, where on your system the package's contents are installed and what other RPM packages that RPM package depends on. Look for a program called KPackage or the like. It should be associated with the RPM file type and should run when you open an RPM file from the file manager window.
