What you want is the package install metafile thingy I recommended in
the long painful ESR thread. Just a text file with a list of packages to
pull in. Give it an extension and a mime type, and associate it so you
can click on one in a web browser and have it open in yumex/pirut. Then
with two clicks you can install whatever. Something like this:

[enablerepo]
livna

[install]
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
kmod-nvidia

Or maybe reduce it to a single click:
