When I boot, the banner reads:
Red hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Kernel 2.4.20-18.9 on an i586

AMD K6(tm)-2/500

Doh! Why didn't I think of that?

I have to boot into my regular system in order to send e-mail. So, to try the
rpm command, I mounted my Red Hat file system on /mnt/hd and then told rpm to
install with that as root. But the error message I got is actually
irrelevant. It just says that the rpm on my regular system doesn't know about
db3 ( and in fact I don't have a db3 file) so when the install script for the
package looks for db3, rpm complains.
I have tried booting into the Red Hat system and running rpm from there:
rpm -i httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.1.i686.rpm
(I chose that package to test because it doesn't have any dependencies and
it's an i686 package) and got the error:
package httpd-manual-2.0.40-21.1.i686.rpm is intended for a i686
architecture
Even with the --force option, the package doesn't install.
So I reckon, on this machine, I should just go with the i386 packages. I can
try the i686 packages on another machine but I only have access to that one
on weekends.
Thanks for all the help!
Ray
