Or you could use urpmi with:

       --test Test  (same  as  rpm --test) installation of packages but do not
              modify the system.

       --noclean
              Do  not  remove  any  packages  from  the  cache  in   directory
              /var/cache/urpmi/rpms.

Then unplug and run urpmi normally, or if it doesn't work at least you have 
everything convieniently downloaded for a manual install.
