Subject: Installing RPM's in Mandrake 9

I downloaded the Opera rpm and would like to install it. I have it in
my home directory (file:/home/tim/opera). I don't understand how I
launch this rpm (I'm thinking that an rpm is equivalent to an .exe in
windows?).
I've tried the ALT + F2 key combo which brings up a run box. I type in
the path and the rpm name (which is long!) and I get "unknown host file"
error. When I just click on the rpm, the OS wants to know which app. to
use? Should there be an installer available for my choosing?
As you can tell, I'm lost.
