No, you really really don't want to do this. This warning message is
serious, it is not advisory. Either write the trivial script to install
the set of packages (we're talking less than 10 lines), use a wildcard
(rpm -ivh *.rpm), or learn about tools like yum which do a nice job of
installing multiple packages.
