I do no belive "Cannot" is a major exageration in this case.  Check out
www.rpm.org.  The only way you can get current binaries or source to "rpm" is in
an rpm!  If your host does not have a native RPM then you need to go through
some strange bootstrapping.  Or as they helpfully suggest "The best way to get
RPM is to install Red Hat Linux.".  Neither option is something I can get the
average Linux user to do.

I finally managed to bootstrap an "rpm" on my system, and found the only
dependenciy was on /bin/sh.  All that work, which few others will bother with,
to find out that?  Then since I had not been using rpms I had to override that
dependency.

Bring back the old installer!  The only reason I see to use the new installer is
to encourage people to buy RedHat.
