Sure, "redhat-install-packages" is the actual command that's run. Or
you could use RPM directly:
# rpm -ivh /media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/name-of-rpm.rpm

I can not find "redhat-install-packages" anywhere. I did (find / -name
"redhat-install*" -print) and it returns nothing. I don't know the name of
the package, so I was hoping to get a list somewhat like you get when you
are first installing the system. Then I would pick the item I wanted.
