..there is an "update distro" utility?  These usually try to mimic
Debians 'aptget', essentially by 'rpm -Fvh $package', adding more as
needed to satisfy dependencies.  You can run rpm -Fvh manually, if it 
whines about missing rpms, add them to the command line.

..you can also compile your own rpms from tarballs, usually 'rpmbuild 
(or rpm) -ta $tarball.tgz' or something like that, check 'info rpm'.
