I'm sorry I didn't notice this thread earlier.
Let me offer complete examples all in one email:
You can mount an .iso file using the method indicated below by Mr. Marcano.
Then you install RPM's from it by hand like this:
rpm -ivh --aid /[your-path-to-mount]/Fedora/RPMS/[the-rpm-you-want-to-install]
For example
rpm -ivh --aid /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/gee_whiz_application*
If RPM complains that the gee_whiz_application is already installed you can try
rpm -Uvh --aid /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/gee_whiz_application*
which upgrades an older package to a newer one
or
rpm -Fvh --aid /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/gee_whiz_application*
which is similar.
So you have to point rpm to the new package you want to install just like you point an arrow at its target.

Guys,
I have a computer without CDROM and with only USB floppy. I have copied Fedora C1 ISOs on this computer and installed it from ISOs When setup rebooted my machine on the Additional Discs screen indoesn't allow me to specify ISOs. Oh well, I can live without additional discs.
Now I am trying to install from RPMs some applications I use (sapdb) and Fedora asks me to insert 3rd CDRom disc. I don't have even CDROM drive so I cannot do it and therefore I cannot install my apps. Anybody has an idea how to get around this and redirect Fedora to the ISOs?
Mount the iso in a loop device
mount -o loop file.iso /pathtomount
then install the RPMs by hand
