Hi All
I have download two package from ftp RedHat
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 :

You can get rpm source as a .tar.gz file, I seem to remember...from
ftp.redhat.com.
ms> You probably want the *bin.rpms---*src.rpm is the source.
that too.

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.
