Download and install multiple RPMs using redhat-install-packages or similar

An conjunction with an upcoming web release of some of our software, I'm trying to find a *simple* way to complete a multi-package installation (where certain packages Require: some of the others) on a Red Hat Linux 9 system, preferrably using GUI tools only. Of course, using redhat-install-packages, which should be registered as desktop handler for rpms already, seems like the obvious choice. However, the process will easily get a bit more complex than I'd really like because, as far as I can tell:

  1. Nautilus offers no direct way to pass more than one RPM to the
     utility.
  2. redhat-install-packages will not add the required packages
     automatically to the install list unless they are part of the
     operating system distribution.

Any recommendations?
