Acutally you don't even have to do that. Just cd to the /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/
directory, and type rpm -Uvh foo.bar. and then hit the tab key (speaking of short
cuts). As for the rpms not installing, As of Redhat 5.2, I have had almost not
problems with RPMs. Usually the only problems I do have are with missing
dependencies, which are easy to fix.
Just my $.02 worth.
