To get any rpm off a redhat CD, first mount the CD (;-p), then go to the
Redhat/
RPMS directory. Here you'll find all the pre-compiled rh binaries. Copy
the one
you want to whereever (/usr/src/Redhat/RPMS is a good place) then use
the command:

rpm -Uvh the_ full.pain_in_the_ass.name_of_ program.i386.rpm

If all goes the way it's supposed to (sometimes it doesn't - rh is
almost as bad
as winblows), you'll have what you want.

Good luck,
Woody
