Place all rpms in a single directory and:rpm -Fvh *.rpm Work for you?
In general this is okay. However if you grab EVERYTHING from noarch, i386, i686 (if PPro or higher), and if applicable, athlon, RPM may not be appreciative of that, depending on the version.
This only applies if the updates your're applying apply to more than the i386 architecture (i.e. openssl, kernel, glibc).
It's also not a good idea to rpm -Fvh a kernel update.
Rather -
rpm -ivh <kernel>.<arch>.rpm (or -Uvh if you're brave like me)
Then rpm -Fvh *.i686.rpm if applicable. You may have to add some of the i386 dependancies to that line to get that working properly (glibc comes to mind).
Then rpm -Fvh *.rpm.
For day to day updates, however, rpm -Fvh *.rpm works fine.
