if you really have all the  rpm´s
eg.
# up2date --configure   (keep the packages after installation)
# up2date-nox  -d
$ wget -cr  ftp|http://url/to/develoment

i would prefer  rpm
eg.
# rpm -Fvh /path/to/rpm

be carefully with  kernel, glibc
$ rpm -qa --qf "%{arch} %{name}\n" | grep -i 
"kernel\|glibc"                                                                                 

i386 glibc-devel
i386 glibc-common
i386 glibc-kernheaders
i686 glibc
i386 kernel-pcmcia-cs
i386 glibc-headers
athlon kernel
