Well, what you have done is precisely what any sophisticated solution
to your problem would do - keep a local database of all available packages
on the various CDs. :)
If you have the rpmdb-redhat package installed, rpm(8) can suggest what further
packages you need to satisfy the dependencies of a given package:
binand@binand[/tmp]:(56) rpm -Uvh anaconda-8.0-4.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
rpm404-python is needed by anaconda-8.0-4
Suggested resolutions:
rpm404-python-4.0.4-8x.27.i386.rpm
With a database like yours above, this whole process is easily scriptable :)
