It has been awhile since I ran an RPM distribution (I'm happily on Debian),
but I recall doing things like:
rpm -qilp /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPM/*.rpm | less
Q = query
I = Info (show descriptions)
L = List all the files in the packages
P = following argument is RPM filename, not packagename (i.e. /path/to/myrpm-1.0.0.rpm vs. myrpm).
Then I used '/', 'n', and 'N' under 'less' to search/traverse the output.
