The way I've found best is to go into the /cdrom/RPMS/i386 directory and
convert the appropriate .rpm files into .deb files with alien.  Make sure
you have the latest alien and the latest dpkg-dev though or you may have
problems (I did).

Then just install the debian packages as normal.  The only weirdness is
that it installs it into /opt but that's okay.
