That will give you a list of all of the packages, and their summary. You can also put %{description} to get the full descriptive text of the package. There are plenty of other tags too; "rpm --querytags" will give you the full list, but alas, no descriptions.

Alternatively, is there a way to extract such a list in printable form from the cds without going through an install ?
