Subject: Installing RPM s
Hey..

computer is asking me what software i would like to use to open the RPM

You use rpm to install rpm packages ;-)
Try this as root:
# rpm -qa | grep rpm
You should see at least something like:
rpm-4.3.1-0.3
(Don't worry too much about the version numbers.) Assuming that you have rpm
and that you want to install a rpm package called <something>.rpm which is
on your local hard drive, do this:
# rpm -Uvh <something.rpm>
For more info check out the man page. There are many many options including
installing from remote sites via ftp or http.
