Isn't there some way I can just find out what packages I need, download them using a download programme line d4x , stick the packages in a directory all by themselves, cd to the diesctory sources, and urpmi to install them for me.

Nothing easier than that, especially if you're using KDE.
Open your home directory, split the window then type in the bar ftp://url of the site/etc./9.1 and connect.
Then just drag & drop the packages you want to your home directory..... or if you don't want to save them, just click (or double click) them there and install. In the latter case you obviously don't need to split the window:o)
You'll only be prompted for your root password once:o)
Take the Mozilla instance above, how do I know what other packages makes a completed list of packages ?
Especially when updating ?
