It would be nice to have a lot of things (eg, a fast connection), but
alas, I can't afford one, so this is not possible.

However, the RPM format is quite secure when installing - either it does
or it doesn't.  You can get rpm to verify an installation afterwards -
rpm -V package-name.  It will list out the files which have been modifed
since installation in table format, each letter:

       5      MD5 sum   (contents of file)
       S      File size
       L      Symlink
       T      Mtime
       D      Device
       U      User
       G      Group
       M      Mode (includes permissions and file type)

If you see a 'c' following the table, then that is a configuration file.
