Since you are a newbie, I'm going to suggest the easiest path possible.
The first thing, is you should install Fedora Core 2 as opposed to
redhat 9. The reason for this is that I build RPMs for Fedora Core 2.
After you have install Fedora Core 2 on your machines then download:
iproute-2.4.7-14mpls_1_938.i386.rpm
kernel-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm
mplsadm2-1.938-1.i386.rpm
From http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpls-linux/ in the 'Files' area.
Then read http://www.dirac.org/linux/rpm.html
In particular you will want to 'upgrade' iproute-2.4.7-14mpls_1_938.i386.rpm
and 'install' mplsadm2-1.938-1.i386.rpm and
kernel-2.6.8-1.521mpls_1_938a.i686.rpm
After you have these RPMs installed and have rebooted to the new kernel,
then read the example on http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/
I hope this is enough info to get you started. Please remember this
mailing list is for discussing mpls-linux related issues ;-)
Good luck
