    What I have done, is first having a good /etc/yum.conf on a mirror near
    me. Also I have the Fedora iso's on disc and mount them like:
    mount -t iso9660 yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/disc1 -o loop -r
    mount -t iso9660 yarrow-i386-disc2.iso /mnt/disc2 -o loop -r
    mount -t iso9660 yarrow-i386-disc3.iso /mnt/disc3 -o loop -r
    Then I have done
    $ cd /mnt/disc1/Fedora/RPMS
    $ ls >/tmp/t
    $ ex /tmp/t
    :1,$s/^/rpm -pql /
    :wq
    $
    $ sh -x /tmp/t 2>&1 | tee <somewhere>/1

    Now I have a complete index in file 1 and can 'rpms -hiv' any file from
    the mounted disc1. Perhaps I look for the vim packages, as follows:

    $ grep vim ? | grep +
    1:+ rpm -pql vim-common-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm
    1:+ rpm -pql vim-enhanced-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm
    1:+ rpm -pql vim-minimal-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm
    2:+ rpm -pql vim-X11-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm
