Hi, thanks for your reply.  I'm possibly in the wrong ng with the next 
question but I'll risk it...

I've downloaded the rpm file ksetispy-0.6.0-1-rh9.src.rpm and unpacked 
it with "rpm -Uvh ksetispy-0.6.0-1-rh9.src.rpm".

What do I do now?  I'm totally lost trying to install and start software 
in linux, I'm on a steep learning curve here.  I can't even locate the 
folder where it is installed.  I'll be real grateful for any assistance 
on what I should do next.

If you are using a src.rpm - you need to rebuild the rpm.
I think, you need a sth like ksetispy-0.6.0-1-rh9.i686.rpm.
But now, without that rpm, do that:

cd ~/rpm/
rpm -bb ksetispy

I think that this command will build rpm for you in ~/rpm/RPMS/
Then install in the same .src.rpm.

p.s.
Sorry, but my english isn't good ;)

Pozdrawiam
