You have it in the installation information -- remove all packages which are labelled in their filename as improper for your distribution (there are some *suse* packages, IIRC, I have Debian here, so this is just slightly related to my experience), and then run (as root): # rpm -vi *.rpm That's it. Comparing with install.exe is unfair -- first of all, Linux users are supposed to be sophisticated enough to read installation instructions :-) -- and second, all Linux distributions are actually doing what M$ has been promising since at least 1995, i.e., to have one standard installation program (your install.exe is /usr/bin/rpm) and packages are just pure datafiles, which is IMHO The Right Thing(TM).
