 	  <title>Using RPM</title>
+   <para>
+    PLD is a rpm based Linux distribution. Rpm is a system of
+    maintaining software resources of your computer. This system 
+    provides you a command <command>rpm</command> which you can use to
+    perform basic operations (install, upgrade, remove) on your set of
+    packages. Every package is a collection of files which provides you 
+    some functionality. For instance program which your humble author 
+    use to write this text is called <command>vim.ispell</command>.
+    It is located in file <filename>/usr/bin/vim.ispell</filename>.
+    I can check that my <command>vim.ispell</command> comes from 
+    package <filename>vim-ispell-6.1.063-1</filename> using the command:
+    <programlisting>
+dobrek:~> rpm -qf /usr/bin/vim.ispell
+vim-ispell-6.1.063-1
+    </programlisting></para>
+    <para>This package could by installed by downloading file 
+    <filename>vim-ispell-6.1.063-1.i686.rpm</filename> from PLD ftp site
+    or one of the mirrors and invoking command <command>rpm  -i
+    vim-ispell-6.1.063-1.i686.rpm</command>. </para>
+    <para>
+    Rpm can by also used for removing packages using command 
+    <command>rpm -e vim-ispell </command>. 
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    Sometimes already installed packages require upgrade. It can
+    happen
+    that new version has a expected new feature or the old one has a
+    nasty security bug. If you want to upgrade package type 
+    <command>rpm -U \<package name\> </command>
+    <note>
+    Upgrading package which conatins your kernel is usually very bad
+    idea. Upgrade consist of removing the old package and installing the
+    new one. With kernel it is usually safe to install the new one test
+    and than id everything works fine remove the old one.
+    </note>
+    <note>
+    After upgrade some packages you will note that there are some new
+    files. It usually happens in the case of configuration files located
+    in <filename>/etc</filename>. For instance if you upgrade your <application>lpd</application>
+    daemon you will note that the file <filename>/etc/printcap</filename> hasn't been 
+    overwritten but the new file is created
+    <filename>/etc/printcap.rpmnew</filename>. It is almoust always
+    worth to look into this type of files to check out what are the
+    differences between old and new version.
