Actually, ezrpm looks like it does have some interesting uses. I haven't 
really played with it, but if you want to install a package, say 
pine*.rpm, and it is on a cd mounted at /mnt/cd...
Ezrpm will search all rpms in that directory attempting to solve 
dependencies. With a command line switch, it can also be told that if 
there are still unresolved deps, then prompt for another cd.

For out purposes however, it doesn't help. ;)
