The above contains a link for downloading RPM, plus a bunch of RPMs you can 
grab.

Be warned: The perl RPM is broken, and I have been unsuccessful in 
contacting the provider regarding this.  Don't bother downloading it.

Once you've downloaded and installed RPM, don't forget to run "rpm 
--initdb" to initialise your database.

You'll probably have to use the --ignoreos flag when installing RPMs 
(unless your running on NT I think).

Hope that gets you started.
