Can't install rpm.

[mighty_tracer]

Hey, bros.
I got a problem: if anyone heard about the program "D4X" or downloader for linux, I got its rpm. So I type in the bash "rpm -i <file>.rpm" and receive back
"warning: user max does not exist - using root
warning: group max does not exist - using root"

Questions:
1. What and why it tells me that?
2. Once I installed how do I use this or any other rpm program?

Thanks.

Looks like you have downloaded the *.src.rpm file, which will install into /usr/src/[Distroname]/SRPMS/*
Get the 'regular' RPM package instead (no *.src.* in the package name).

The messages you are getting about 'max', is because the user who created the Source RPM package used the username/group 'max'.

Cheers :)
