Installing updates downloaded from Red Hat Network.

[Panos Tsapralis <ptsapralis tellas gr>]

OK, since I am on a slow dial-up connection at home, I got some help from a 
friend of mine, who's working for a major ISP here in Athens and made me a favor 
of collecting the latest XFREE86 updates on a CD.

Now, I wonder what is the proper command to install these updates, since I 
observed that there are rather complex dependencies between the packages.

So, I suppose that the correct command would be:

rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm

while being into the directory, where the updates are stored.

Am I correct or what?

If yes, is there any way (e.g., variant / option of the "rpm" command), that I 
can apply afterwards in order to check whether everything in my system is 
healthy and consistent?

TIA,
