RPM trouble

Hi

I've recently installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and have gone to kde.org in the hopes of updating my KDE as it is currently 3.1. I have downloaded all the RPM packages which took me an hour, but I'm really annoyed because everytime I try to install them they claim they need another RPM package first, but I have gone through them all by the sounds of it they depend each on one another so there's no way I can install them. After running one of the RPM's through the console I got a following message:

rpm -ivh kdelibs-3.3.2-1.2.rhel3.kde.i386.rpm
warning: kdelibs-3.3.2-1.2.rhel3.kde.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ff6382fa

Now I'm new to Linux - this just looks like greek to me!! I just want to know how I install the bloody packages lol! What do I have to do first? If somebody can help me there's a free mars bar in the post!

Cheers,
