3.1. Acquiring RPM 
	The best way to get RPM is to install Red Hat Linux.  If you don't want
	to do that, you can still get and use RPM.  It can be acquired from
	
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/code/rpmftp.redhat.com .
      
3.2. RPM Requirements 
	RPM itself should build on basically any Unix-like system.  It has been
	built and used on Tru64 Unix, AIX, Solaris, SunOS, and basically all
	flavors of Linux.
      
	To build RPMs from source, you also need everything normally required to
	build a package, like 
gcc,
	
make, etc.
