Could you provide a pointer to red carpet?

I tried that and got:

suillus:/home/pwa # rpm -Fvh http://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2/SuSE/
ix86/9.0/*.rpm
error: File not found by glob: http://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2/SuSE/
ix86/9.0/*.rpm

I suppose I could download the whole directory, but that would be pretty 
wasteful, I'd think.
