"Offical Red Hat 5.2 LINUX operating system Installation Guide" 
I got it for $20 sans cd. I have 6.1  but found this book to be very
useful.

From RH, instructions on how to install RPM's
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/faqs/rhl_general_faq/FAQ-4.html#ss4.22

With RH (I have 6.1) and gnome I just right click (in the graphical
file mgr) on the file and choose install--for RPM's.

Also, gnorpm, was glint, works.

With a *.tar.gz just copy it to a tmp dir. Un-tar and un-zip it then
follow the INSTALL file's directions.
