Are you doing this as root? If you do that as root, try rpm -ivh <FILE.RPM>.
That may do the trick, but it sounds like you're not running this as root. At least
from
what I gathered from the email.

| I want to install Webmin (following some comments about it on this list).
| I've downloaded the .rpm file but I can't work out how to install it (I am a
| long time Windows user and new to Linux). When I try to run 'rpm --install
| <filename> ' I get error messages about being unable to get exclusive access
| to certain directories. I am logged in as root. Can anyone offer any help?
