Dependency problems with Fedora7

Hey guys,
I installed Fedora7 from DVD yesterday. I have previously worked with RHEL4 and Fedora4(As of RPM based systems).
I used to copy all the rpms from the media to a directory.
#mkdir /rpms
#copy /path_to_rpms_in_media/* /rpms/
My intention for doing this was to get around the dependency problems, so that whenever I want to install something I just have to do:
#cd /rpms
#rpm -ivh packagename --aid
But when I did the same thing with Fedora7 yesterday it did not work.
I copied all the rpms from the DVD to my local directory, and when I issued the rpm command with the --aid switch it would not install the dependencies.
I tried this on a laptop as well as a desktop machine.

So can anybody check this?
Thanx.

RPMSPEC(8)						      System Manager's Manual							RPMSPEC(8)

NAME

       rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool

SYNOPSIS

   QUERYING SPEC FILES:
       rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...

   select-options
	[--rpms]
	[--srpms]

   query-options
	[--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
	[--target TARGET_PLATFORM]

   QUERY OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm spec query command is

       rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]

       You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the

	--qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT

       option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string.	See rpm(8) for details.

   SELECT OPTIONS
	--rpms Operate on the binary package header(s).
