hello, i am looking a quick newbie guide to using RPM to locate (ftp) and install RPM on my dedicated server.

cheers

This link might help:Using RPM (http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-rpm-using.html)

If not, do a search at RedHat (http://www.redhat.com) on RPM guide.

Regards,
Charlie

I had already found that one, but found a better one at rpm.org

I have the necessary command to do an install but still don't know how to search for an rpm from my box, only way is to locate software at rpmfind.net they write down url then connect to box and retype url, seems long winded to me.

bash$ man rpm

will list everything you need to know about rpms

some are:

rmp -i package.rom will isntall the package.
