Bear in mind that I don't use _any_ distro installer, so I may be all wet. By the time you have installed all you want from RPMS, you should have installed a kernel, a libc, a bootloader, a filesystem, the basic system utilities such as mount, mkdir, tar, cpio, gzip, bzip2,...and the rpm binary. just boot your new system, (make [some] convenient mount point[s]), mount RPMS2,... and use rpm to install what you like, disk space permitting. man rpm is long, but it's not all that bad to read.
