+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.
