I don't quite get your question rajesh. But, are you trying to upgrade your system or go in for a complete new install.

Anyways, you won't find any rpm package for a complete RH distribution.

Like I said in my previous post, you won't find any distributions rpm. That's not provided for, it can not be done.

Apart from what you mention, you can do a network install.
