src.rpm ------> source RPM, contains source, you need to compile (see below)
norarch.rpm --> architecture independent (it may contain scripts, etc.)


In order to install from source RPM

su -
cd /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
mv /downloads/filename.src.rpm .
rpm -i filename.src.rpm
cd ../SPECS
rpm -bb filename.spec
cd ../RPMS/i386
rpm -Uvh filename.i398.rpm


Check the manual page or perhaps some online documentation to get more
information:
