You want the "Update System" addon. That will give you a form in the Server Manager where you can browse to an RPM (saved anywhere that the current PC can access it, like in C:\temp) and click a button and it will be installed. This will save you a ton of time with the standard e-smith RPMs contribs.

/home/e-smith/files/primary is your main website dir. "http://www.yourdomain.com/"
http://www.star-support.com/downloads/mitel/howto/rpm-howto.htm has a good manual step-by-step method that uses a separate i-bay. This gives a nice area to keep RPMs, and a way to get them to the SME from your Windows box. Once you install "Update System" you won't even have to worry about this though.

Everything that you should be doing on the server can be done through the Server Manager, or at the command line. It's really not designed be run as a desktop OS...

Like schotty said, Webmin is known to be incompatible. More proof that you should do some checking to make sure stuff is compatible with e-smith. It's based on Redhat, but it isn't the same.
Those first two look like you tried to download RPMs, but got "File not found" webpages instead. I bet if you add ".html" to their filenames, you can open them in your browser and see an error page... When the rpm program tries to process "
" in the "RPM" you downloaded, it will obviously have problems.</div>
