sure. It has everything that redhat has on there and more. ;)

depends on the version. 

Looks like the 1999-08-02 version has:

./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-core-1.0.9-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-core-devel-1.0.9-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-games-1.0.2-11.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-games-devel-1.0.2-11.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-libs-1.0.12-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-libs-devel-1.0.12-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-media-1.0.9.1-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-pim-1.0.9-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-pim-devel-1.0.9-1.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-print-0.4-5.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-print-devel-0.4-5.i386.rpm
./RedHat/RPMS/gnome-utils-1.0.12-1.i386.rpm

The October one has 1.0.50pre on it.
