Lan,

If your rpm supports the --aid switch, you can do:

cd /path/to/dvd/rpms
rpm -ivh --aid MythDora-version.rpm

and it should install the required dependencies,..

You mean I can install a downloaded rpm and the rpm program will make
use of yum (or?) to automatically resolve dependencies? =-O

Whoa! I didn't know that.
Why has that feature been hidden from me? ;-)

Because you didn't read the man page? From the yum man page:

 localinstall
    Is used to install a set of local rpm  files.  If  required  the
    enabled repositories will be used to resolve dependencies.
