Can I install an old one?</font> For simply install a package do: rpm -i package.rpm Where "-i" is the Install parameter and "package.rpm" is the RPM you're installing. You can add more parameters to the above command, try this: rpm -ivh package.rpm The "-v" is for verbose and "-h" for the hashing marks. It'll print some "#" when unpacking and then installs the package. You can use "--percent" instead of "-h" if you want. The above command is maybe the first RPM command you've learned.
