   Most users of LON-CAPA should install LON-CAPA by
   <strong>simultaneously installing both RedHat 7.3 and LON-CAPA</strong>.
   Step-by-step directions are available
   <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/install/rh73.html">here</a>.
   </p>
   <p>
   The "LON-CAPA and RedHat 7.3" tarball is located 
   <a
   href="http://install.loncapa.org/resources/loncapa-rh73install.tar">here</a>.
   </p>
   <p>
   <strong>LON-CAPA makes extensive use of perl modules</strong> from
   <a href="http://www.cpan.org/">CPAN</a>.  To help you install all
   the necessary perl modules, there is a custom-compiled RPM for
   RedHat 7.* systems:
   <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm">
   LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm</a>.
   </p>
   <p>
   <i>For RedHat 6.2 systems, you should instead use
   <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm">
   LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm</a></i>.
   </p>
   <p>
   To install the systemperl RPM, you should enter the following command:
   </p>
   <blockquote>
   <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
   <tr><td>
   <pre>
   rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm
   </pre>
   </td></tr></table>
   </blockquote>
   <p>
   The systemperl RPM will overwrite some of
   the files present in the regular RedHat perl RPM.
   This is okay; this will not likely cause problems.
