are they rpms? if so just do su root in a terminal prompt, enter your
root password when prompted and then type in cd
/var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ then next type in rpm -i rpmname.rpm
to install the rpms which contain the updates...this is, of course,
assuming the archived updates are rpms (never chosen to archive
updates before)
