Alright so I am totally new to Linux. I asked some people for a linux distribution and they gave me fedora core 2 to install all by myself. I did it and decided to install the packages in cd4 at a later time. That time has come and I dont know how to do it. I put it in the cd drive and open the cd directory and it has a bunch of rpm files (what is rpm exactly?) Anyways I dont know which specific packages I want, but I would certainly like C/C++ compilers. Someone here at my college just gave me the vague advice of using the rpm command... man, I got no idea how to do that! PLEASE can i get some help, or maybe a link to a very useful page where I can indulge my sincere curiosity in this new system, because I dont even know where to start...!
thanx
