Add RPM Database

I am a newbie but always trying to learn. Last week I decided to jump into a dedicated server. I have had a VPS with ServInt for about a year and there support is terrific but I wanted to try a dedicated.
I got a dedicated last week from Liquidweb and though there support is a lot slower it has been adequate.
I am using Centos 3.4 with a Cpanel. Yesterday I went to add an RPM through the WHM and found no packages have been preloaded. I have been waiting for a resolution for twenty hours and thought I would try add the database myself .
I have two questions on a fully managed dedicated server should they be preloaded at installation of the operating system?
How do I load them? I have done searches both on www.centos.org and www.rpm.org.
I can see how to load an individual rpm but not the entire database. Any help would be appreciated.
