You can use from the menu "system settings" -> "add/remove
applications". This will give you a selection option like during install
and needs your CDs.

The other possibility is to install required packages over the net by
calling "up2date" (do you a favour and use a mirror server to get the
packages from - for instructions see the list archive).

Both ways described above will autoresolve dependencies. RPM by it's own
will not resolve dependencies, only if all needed RPMs are in the same
directory when you call i.e. "rpm -Fvh *". Better use up2date, yum or
apt as a "frontend" for rpm to take advantage for autoresolving of
dependencies.
