downloading them ...
baring this, is there a better tool to use then rpm?
thanks ...

look at the end of rpm man page, there is a section INSTALL AND
UPGRADE OPTIONS.
Concerning other tools, the poor experience I have with RH showed
me that rpm is a great tool. Maybe you may try yum, which, iirc, is
a GUI for rpm.

Actually yum's a means for updating that's meant to replace the
Redhat Network Tool or whatever it was called back in RH9.0 and RHE,
which comes as primarily a command line tool I thought. As far as I
know is only available for Fedora-a product primarily made for
desktop users made by Redhat.

To clear up a couple of points: YUM is a Redhat tool but is a command
line one. It works on all Redhat derived systems not just Fedora. BTW
Fedora is not made by Redhat but is sponsored by them - they use it as a
test platform.
What I don't understand why the OP is installing Linux Apachie2 from
rpms when there is a perfectly good port for BSD which handles the
dependencies and the different locations of files, scripts etc.
One word: PHPlib
I have a client that has a Linux license for PHPlib, and from talking to
the PHPlib folk, they won't convert the license to a FreeBSD one ...
rather then send the client off to a Linux hosting company, I'm *trying*
to accommodate their requirement on a FreeBSD platform ...
