when i try to install the WINE .rpm file, i get this "open with" screen, and i don't know what to do next (i'm a newbie). i tried to go to the /bin/rpm thing. what am i doing wrong?

Exactly how did you install an rpm file??? Did you run this command at the prompt as root to install it,

rpm -ivh filename.rpm

ummm... like i said, i'm a newbie. if you can, some screenshots would be very helpful. as for the file itself, i downloaded it from:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241

i got:

wine-20031118-1rh9winehq.athlon.rpm

it's on a CD (my friend actually downloaded it and burned it, along with the linux installer itself... on a separate CD)
i don't know any of the code i keep seeing, so maybe linux might have been a mistake for me. where do i enter the code you suggested (do i sound like an idiot yet)?
