Don't! The right way of doing this would be setting up a yum repository. 
You can then either set up a comps group or create a meta package 
containing Requires: to the other packages. If you don't want to use any 
higher level tools you can still just use Requires: within a meta 
package - which will require listing them at the CLI or use a manifest 
file. This is simply a textfile listing all the packages that should be 
installed. RPM can just read them in if given at the command line and 
then opens and installs the packages listed there.
