Is "man yum" the best way to "learn" about the suggestions? Or is there another source?
There's a couple. Here's one:

Since I have the rpm's on CD's, is there a way to set up a list as suggested, but use the local rpm's?
Copy the packages to a local dir and run yum-arch (C3) or createrepo (C4) on the dir. Then modify /etc/yum.conf (C3) or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo (C4) to point to the dir. Note that yum *does* recognize the file: protocol (e.g., file:///some/path) so you don't need a web or FTP server.
