Last time I tried that it proceeded to install everything on the CD.  I
think you mean

rpm -Fvh --nodeps --force *.rpm

>From rpm.8:

            rpm -U [install-options] <package_file>+

       This upgrades or installs the package currently installed to the
       version in the new RPM.  This is the same as install, except all
       other version of the package are removed from the system.
