[Cialug] solutions to an annoyance?

Surely there's a better way to do
this and you're the people to ask.

I want to install a particular RPM.

Since I've checked the md5sum when I
burned the CD's I'd prefer to get the
RPM off of it and only download it if
it is not on the install CD's.

What's the easiest way to find out if the
rpm is on the distro CD's and which CD?

So far the best idea I've heard is to do
ls > disk1.txt, etc. and grep when needed.

If I use the gui tool it would prompt me to
insert the proper disk, how does it know?
