See if this works:
cd /mnt/storage/RH/Updates/4/i386
# rpm -Uvh \
glibc-2.3.5-10.3.i686.rpm \
glibc-common-2.3.5-10.3.i386.rpm \
glibc-devel-2.3.5-10.3.i386.rpm \
glibc-headers-2.3.5-10.3.i386.rpm
If you've mirrored the "repodata" directory along with the packages
themselves, you could actually use yum:
/etc/yum/repos.d/fedora-updates.repo:
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever
baseurl=file:///mnt/storage/RH/Updates/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
"yum update" would then get updates from your mirror.
