Hi All

                1) jdk-1_0_2_2-2_src.rpm  (Java Development Kit)
                2) xosview-1_4_1-3_src.rpm (xosview software)
        My question is how can I install it ?
        I have try "rpm -i *rpm", but receive error message : "segmentation
fault core dumped"

        My linux is RedHat 3.0.3, Kernel is 2.0.0

        And How can I set X-win on 16bpp, I try add a line on startx file
(serverarge="-bpp 16") but receive error message :

This looks like you have a too old version of rpm. The old versions were
rather dodgy, and tended to segfault if given an rpm in a newer format.
You'll have to upgrade rpm, which could be tricky, since the current
versions will probably be in rpms unreadable by your current version. You
might be able to get there by going through several intermediate versions.
These may be available on ftp.redhat.com.

You probably want the *bin.rpms---*src.rpm is the source.

You can get rpm source as a .tar.gz file, I seem to remember...from
ftp.redhat.com.

This is the big weakness in RH's RPM.

I had two or three intermnediate (twixt 3.0.3 and 4.0) versions and could
    find no path that would allow me to upgrade.

I finally went to 4.0 (on one machine) by upgrading from an Archive CD.
    Even that's not without its hazards.

If only they rould realise the importance of packing RPM RPMs in an
    earlier form so peaple CAN upgrade it easily.

        So join redhat-devel and tell them.
