How do I install a software package like 'mondo' if it has a .rpm extension. Can I do this from the command line? or do you use some kind of graphical tool?

file name = mondo-1.65_cvs_20030714-1.i386.rpm

Never mind, I figured it out. BUT...

Can someone find afio in an rpm bundle. I tried to get one off of the mondo site but it isnt valid. I am trying to install mondo and I need afio as a dependent package.

Never mind, I used a precompiled version and used a --nodeps on the install of mondo.

Thanks anyway.
