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.

Why not get the full rpm from source forge, there is one there for rh9:-

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=30553

And install that it should be fine.

 if not then the .src.rpm should have put the spec file in  /usr/src/packages
SPECS/ you can rebuild it with rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/kseitispy?????
where ???? is the rest of the name, this will rebuild it and leave the full
rpm in /usr/src/packages/RPM/i386/ ? you can then just install this as
normal.

Warning!

These directions are for Suse I am not 100% on the usage of rpm in rh, I seem
to remember that it might need different commands, but a "man rpm" or " rpm
--help" should give you the right swiches and options.
