I downloaded a lot of kde rpms and instead of installing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can do so all at once with some command?

rpm -Fvh *.rpm
I would caution against the -F. All that does is upgrade existing packages, but it will not install new packages that are not on the system.
-U is generally more useful. Updates and Adds packages as needed.
Actually, the -U option will install ALL the packages in the directory except those which are already up to date or newer. Doing that in, for example, the kde applications directory could lead to many unwanted packages being installed. Using the -F option only updates already installed packages, and it will tell you is something is needed as a dependency. Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet
