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

NAME
pk-debuginfo-install - Debugging Packages Installer SYNOPSIS
pk-debuginfo-install [--help] [--verbose] [--simulate] [--no-depends] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pk-debuginfo-install command. pk-debuginfo-install is the command line client for installing debuginfo packages. WHY DO I NEED DEBUGINFO PACKAGES
? When a program crashes, it's often useful to send the developer a backtrace which contains symbol names and variable contents, rather than memory addresses. To make this possible, extra packages called debug packages can be installed. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --help Show summary of options. --noninteractive Do not be interactive and skip the confirmation before the packages are installed. --verbose Show extra debugging information. --simulate Don't actually install any packages, only simulate what would be installed. --no-depends Do not scan for, or install dependencies of the core packages. --quiet Do not display information or progress to the terminal. RETURN VALUES
0 Success, at least one package was installed 1 Failed with miscellaneous internal error. 3 Failed to get software sources list. 4 Failed to enable software sources. 5 Failed as nothing to do. 6 Failed to find dependent packages. 7 Failed to install. 8 Failed to disable software sources. SEE ALSO
