Do you have something against yum?

jh

I'm on a network that is disconnected from the internet; makes things kind
of awkward sometimes. We have some internal repositories that are supposed
to mirror centos, and EPEL - don't have one (that I'm aware of) that
mirrors elrepo.
But it looks like it's looking for just that one package; if that's all
I
need to get these installed, then hopefully this can be wrapped up.

Thing is, what you've posted makes no sense to me.
>>> that first one appears to have a dependency on
"NVidia-x11-drv-304xx = 304.135" and I can't find that package
anywhere - I've checked CentOS
In short, you're saying that
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.135-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm requires
NVidia-x11-drv-304xx = 304.135

I find this hard to believe, given you're really saying it requires itself.

How about you don't summarise what you've done, but download again the
files
you think you need, and paste actual output when you get errors.
