    You can place all the rpm packages that you want to install (including their dependencies) on the USB stick and then install them with the rpm -Uvh command.

    The command is
    Code:
    rpm -ivh [I]package[/I]
    Please use the full path to the packages located on your USB stick.
    Please run the rpm command as root.
