If you had all the updated RPM files in your current folder you can run something like:
Code:
# rpm --freshen -vh *.rpm

By using freshen option to the rpm command then only the RPMs you have installed will get updated, RPMs in the folder for software that you do not have installed will not get applied, very useful.
