Default add/remove packages

I have a RHEL desktop version PC. I want to add some packages in the machine using 'add/remove packages' option. It is asking the 2nd CD. But I have a scratched one. But I have a DVD disc containing the all RPMS in the 5 CDs. During the 'Add/Remove packages' how to use this RPMS instead of using a particular CD when asking it.

Default

1) Mount the DVD Drive.
2) The packages will be in /<cdrom-mountpoint>/Packages/ directory
3) Use "rpm -iv packagename.rpm" to install it.

Alternative method : Use yum - a quick document : Linux Cloud: Yummy : Using yum to update your machine
