    You can get the full syntax with "rpm --help".

    There is some information on the IBM Toolbox web pages. I found this to
    be sufficient to start with:
    http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/altlic.html

    I found this to be quite useful:
    http://www.linuxexperience.com/articles/redhatrpm.php

    And here's a detailed and comprehensive guide, (probably more than you
    need):
    http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/

    RPM is pretty easy to use. Much simpler than installp for just getting
    single packages on.
