Thanks for this Enda - it would appear (from other replies also) that I
was not clear enough in my explanation. I know how to mount the ISOs -
and install an individual rpm from it when I know the location and name
of the rpm. What I would like to be able to do is along the lines of
apt - where I can set up these ISOs as an rpm source and do something
along the lines of
"apt-get install <package>" and rpm will install it without me having to
know exactly where the rpm is located.

Cheers
Fergal
