that sounds right to me.

I always check any rpms with

#rpm -i --test package_name.rpm

if you get dumped back to a command prompt, then you can install the 
package. If dependencies are needed, it will tell you.

man rpm will also show the switches you can use to install all the 
packages you need at one time (provided you have them all downloaded).
