ok, I dowloaded the kernel rpms and the xfree86 as well as mkinitrd and rpm packages

I go to upgrade my rpm with:

rpm -Uvh rpm*rpm

i did that from the directory where my new rpm packages are.

I get the eror:

Failed dependancies:

and it lists things like:

libz.so.1 is needed by rpm-4.0.4-7x

ext...

So obviouly it is trying to tell me it needs those files for rpm to work. I am following the instructions at

http://www.redhat.com/support/resour...ernel-upgrade/

How can I upgrade my rpm?

I need the latest version of rpm so I can install the latest version of the kernel and stuff

Please help.
