Question Isolated installations on a network location

Hi,


I'm looking to have certain packages installed on a location on my network(lets call this mount point /software) in such a way that they can run needing anything from the local system. So that when any of my users does /software/bin/vlc or /software/bin/open-office or /software/bin/eclipse, it runs completely off the server without requiring anything from their systems, apart from some symblinks maybe.
I've done this for quite a few apps (firefox, chrome, eclipse, skype, java, qt etc) but not for rpm packages. I'd like to take these two packages as examples, if required : vlc-0.9.9a-7.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm & OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz

Can rpm packages be installed such?

Cheers

PS : I'm on centos 5.6 x64
