Installing individual rpm is too time consuming.

No you won't get that window again, there's an X-based utility "Add/Remove Packages" that provides a graphical interface for adding/removing packages, but since you don't have X you won't get that
Maybe, you can try to upgrade, but that'd take even more time than a fresh installation.
If your network card is working and you have a decent internet connection you can use tools like yum/apt-get/synaptic to automate the process of installing the packages over the internet.
But I guess, the best option is to install X manually. Don't fret, you'll find all the 'x' rpms beginning with "x-something", also the rpm will tell you what all dependencies you require.
Hope this help!
