[Herefordshire] Hello,I'm new here

[Malcolm Herbert]

to upgrade packages with rpm (in most cases)  rpm -Uvh <package>. You
dont need to delete the existing package. Alternatively you can use the
online mechanisms (such as RHN) to do this (or yum or apt-get)

good sources of additional rpm packages (outside of the Fedora distro)
include the rather good. http://dag.wieers.com/packages/. Also have a
look at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/updates.html
