Always a very very bad sign with the request starts out with an apology
for being offtopic.  The normal recommendation when you feel you have to
do this is "don't post it then."  

My first reaction was to be very curt, but I don't like it when people
do that to me, so I toned my response back to civil conversation.  So
this email contains honest, direct responses instead of the smart-ass
comments I was about to write.

They probably felt it was just as OT there as it is here.

Download the rpms and their dependencies and install it.  urpmi is
standalone with some deps.  You can get away with --nodeps in some
cases, but not all.

http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/ will probably be able to give you
more information as I suspect you'll find people there who have wanted
to go that way.
