install from the cd's a package named rpmdb-fedoraXXXXXXXX.rpm this
package gives to the rpm db the whole content of packages on the CDs, so
when a package need dependencies you can invoke help with the --aid
option

rpm -ivh thepackage.rpm --aid

if the rpm finds the dependency in the same directory installs it,
automaticly. of course only if the dependecies is on the CD's ...

that could help you know the dependencies of the packges (the known
ones).
