A newbie will probably learn how to use rpm to deal with this
issue, I would presume.

Sorry, I do not run rpm based distro myself, but I would imagine
"rpm -i" (if -i is the "install" subcommand, I dunno) would take
more than one package name on the command line to be told to
install all of them at once?
