Hi, my name is alan, i am a french student.

I think urpmi can be very useful for RULE 

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cooker/urpmi.html

What's it?
urpmi - rpm wrapper handling dependencies making installs easier

 Just give to urpmi the package you want and it will install it, taking 
packages either from cdrom, ftp or local repository of rpms. The nice thing 
is that dependencies are handled. It even handles multi-cd (asks you politely 
to enter the cd labeled ``xxx'').

Have you heard about apt-get? Well, urpmi does the same for rpms :)
You can compare rpm vs urpmi with insmod vs modprobe or dpkg vs apt-get.
