Or as someone else mentioned, "whichcd"
http://sourceforge.net/projects/whichcd/

Allows you to find a specific package, or if you really want a full list, 
that's available as well. It supports multiple Red Hat releases (7.x, 
8.0, 9). Whichcd searches for a string, so you can say:

$ whichcd -v 9 autorun
Searching in the RHL9 database.

Searching for autorun...
CD-2:autorun-3.10-1.i386.rpm
SOURCE-CD-1:autorun-3.10-1.src.rpm

And if you really want a full listing:
$ whichcd -v 9 rpm | more
Searching in the RHL9 database.

Searching for rpm...
CD-1:4Suite-0.11.1-13.i386.rpm
CD-1:GConf-1.0.9-10.i386.rpm
CD-1:GConf2-2.2.0-1.i386.rpm
CD-1:Glide3-20010520-25.i386.rpm
CD-1:ImageMagick-5.4.7-10.i386.rpm
[...]

Before someone asks..
Yes, you can search for just the "rpm" packages. ;)

$ whichcd -v 9 ^rpm
Searching in the RHL9 database.

Searching for ^rpm...
CD-1:rpm-4.2-0.69.i386.rpm
CD-1:rpm-python-4.2-0.69.i386.rpm
CD-2:rpm-build-4.2-0.69.i386.rpm
CD-2:rpm-devel-4.2-0.69.i386.rpm
CD-3:rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030313.i386.rpm
SOURCE-CD-3:rpm-4.2-0.69.src.rpm
SOURCE-CD-3:rpmdb-redhat-9-0.20030313.src.rpm
