You don't unpack it. You either use the KPackage or (my
preference) run rpm -ivh  (or rpm -Uvh if
upgrading)

Good Lord, that's a lot of information!  Man pages say way too much for
most normal purposes, _especially_ the one for `rpm`.  Hell, even 
`rpm --help` outputs several screens of info.  I'd just recap the
basics:

rpm -ivh filename.rpm  # Installs a package
rpm -q package-name# Do I have package-name installed?
rpm -qa# What packages do I have installed?
rpm -Uvh filename.rpm  # Upgrade to new version of package
rpm -e package-name# Un-installs package-name

Take note of how "package-name" used in the query modes and uninstall
mode does NOT end in ".rpm".  If you don't know the name of a package,
try

rpm -qa | grep word

Where "word" is something that should be in the package.  For instance,
say you're wondering what GNOME packages are installed.  You run

[user@localhost user]$ rpm -qa | grep gnome
gnome-audio-1.0.0-7mdk
gnome-audio-extra-1.0.0-7mdk
gnome-core-1.0.9-9mdk
gnome-core-devel-1.0.9-9mdk
gnome-games-1.0.2-13mdk
gnome-games-devel-1.0.2-13mdk
gnome-libs-1.0.40-1mdk
gnome-libs-devel-1.0.40-1mdk

gnome-objc-1.0.2-5mdk
gnome-objc-devel-1.0.2-5mdk
gnome-pim-1.0.9-1mdk

gnome-print-0.8-1mdk
gnome-users-guide-1.0.5-7mdk
gnome-utils-1.0.13-1mdk
switchdesk-gnome-1.7.0-3mdk

There you go!  Let's now say you want to get rid of the GNOME utilities
(the second-to-last package on the list).  You'd run

rpm -e gnome-utils

No version numbers or file extension.  Does this make sense?  Hopefully,
it's more readable than a man page.

I didn't see that in Netscape's 'Other Platform' webpage where I went to get
another 'updated' version of Netscape.

Have any idea where I can get a copy of Netscape for Linux 2.2 or is there
such a place?  I looked in the Linuxberg website and the only browser listed
there was something called 'Express' which is supposed to be an open source
browser.  I would like to find an updated Linux Netscape if there is one.

Thanks,

Richard
