I am using the Mandrake Distro with KDE.   First, I tried to install the
RPM super server.  No problem but I can only put it on /opt where I have
no disk space.  RPM does not allow me to place it in the directory I
want.  Am I using RPM incorrectly?

Then I tried the targz file under the directory I want.  I see the 00
install file when I click on the tar file.  But I haven't a clue how to
make it work. None of the editors show me what the file consists of.   I
tried using the archiver on the targz file and it came back saying that
it could not list the directory.  I need to install IB on the disk with
enough space.  What can I do?
