No need to use apt-get then. Just cd into the directory that has all the rpms and do:
But the problem is that I have more RPMS there than just those that I want to install.
I know I can install rpms by hand, one by one, but I hoped to use some tool to do it for me
(install just the RPM that I want and all its dependencies).
Eight years ago when this thread was active, there was an apt implementation for rpm which was sometimes used on RetHat derivatives. So it is possible the OP really was trying to do something sane.
Anyway please feel free to post on current threads if you think you can contribute.
