Installing RPM packages and network

[Francis Appiah <nanabaffoeappiah yahoo com>]

 

1.)

I just installed fc2 and I am a newbie to linux in general, any good resources around for newbies and any advice for a firstimer to fc2?

 

2.)

How do I get my rpm packages to install in fc2?

 

3.)

Also I am runnign fc2 on a campus with a main DHCP host, I have realised that the host server is only allowing me to get onto on campus websites, I cannot resolve any hosts who address are not withing our subnet.

 

4.)

How do I check whether or not I am causing uneccesary network traffic or broadcasts and how do I stop that from happening?

 

Thanks.

Newbie!
