RPM-Related Resources
</H2>
<A NAME="PAGENUM-404"><P>Page 404</P></A>
<P>There are a number of resources available to help you with RPM, over and above the
RPM man page and this book. Here are some pointers to them.
</P>
<H3>
F.1. Where to Get RPM
</H3>
<P>Perhaps before asking where you can get RPM, it might be better to see if RPM is already
installed on your system. If you have Red Hat Linux on your system, it's there already. But
be sure to check on other operating systems; people are porting RPM to different operating
systems every day, and it just might be there waiting for you.
</P>
<P>Here's a quick way to see if RPM is installed on your system:
</P>
<!-- CODE SNIP //-->
<PRE>
% rpm --version
RPM version 2.3
%
</PRE>
<!-- END CODE SNIP //-->
<P>If this command doesn't work, it might be that your path doesn't include the directory
where RPM resides. Check the usual binary directories before declaring RPM a no-show!
</P>
<H4>
F.1.1. FTP Sites
</H4>
<P>If you can't find RPM on your system, you'll have to grab a copy by FTP. RPM can be
found practically anywhere Red Hat Linux is available. While the most obvious site,
ftp.redhat.com, is certainly an option, it might not be your best choice. For one thing, it can be very busy.
For another, unless your link to the Internet is near Red Hat's sprawling development campus
in Durham, North Carolina, there's probably an FTP site closer to you.
</P>
<P>Here is a list of sites that mirror Red Hat Software's main FTP site. Be aware that this list
changes frequently, so don't be surprised if a particular site no longer mirrors Red Hat or has
moved from the paths listed here (an up-to-date copy of the list of mirror sites is always available
on ftp.redhat.com, in the file MIRRORS):

<P>Red Hat Software has also set up an FTP site meant specifically for RPM. It's available
at ftp.rpm.org and contains all present and past versions of RPM.

F.1.2. What Do I Need?
</H4>
<P>Once you find a nearby site with RPM and the directory where it's kept, you'll notice a
variety of files, all starting with rpm. What are they? Which ones do you need? Here's a
representative list, along with the ways in which each file would be used:
