Anaconda is the initial installer
Up2date handles updating for errata etc
Tools like kpackage and gnorpm handle package installs graphically

My favourite however is apt-rpm - http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org, although
you'd need to copy your CD set somewhere and index it, and see what was needed
for S/390 portability.

With that I can simply type

apt-get update [packagename]

and it will do all the needed work for me - fetching files, doing dependancies
finding any other package needed, working out which is the newest source of
a package and so on.
