There's a conflict there - you aren't allowed to change anything, but you are 
allowed to install new software !

Your best bet is to use the OS repositories for the packages - making sure you 
get packages appropriate to the vintage of the system. Try to install the rpm 
and it will fail due to a missing dependency. Download the package (rpm file) 
that satisfies that, install it, and repeat. I'm not familiar with RH, but in 
Debian you can try to install multiple packages in one go with "dpkg --install 
package1.deb package2.deb ..." - which means you can keep trying without 
actually installing anything until you have a full list of required packages.


The downside is that you need to download multiple files one at a time, so it 
gets fairly tedious - which is why I suggested you start with the list of 
packages you got from yum when you first tried and install all of them in one 
go.

It's the "best" way to do it, but it's a pain to do - especially if you end up 
with a longer and longer list of missing dependencies at each iteration.
