The problem is exactly as the problem says, you're trying to install something that isn't an RPM package. Try: file MySQL-server-5.0.4-0.i386.rpm It'll tell you what the file you've downloaded actually is. Either it's a corrupted rpm, or you've downloaded a link to the package, instead of the package itself.
