By the way, I see "kickstart" referred to.  Is it possible to put a "kickstart" list in the system and have a pre-set list of rpm's loaded, or does that assume that I have checked all dependencies...something tht yum does for me.

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.
