fc5 install trouble

The problem with doing an rpm -Uvh * in a situation like this is that rpm refuses to install any
packages matched by a glob if one or more of them produces an error and unfortuately rpm treats
"this package is already installed" as an error. A kludgey, slow, but effective solution might be
something like this:

cd /media/cdrom # or whatever
cd RedHat/RPMS
for p in *.rpm; do n=$(echo $p | sed 's/\.rpm//'); rpm -q $n || rpm -ivh $p; done

I haven't tested this, but I think it should work. Like I said, though, it's a bit kludgey. There's
probably a better solution out there somewhere.
