Installing software offline/from DVD in Fedora 15

[talk2devid]

Respected Members,

Currently i am using Fedora 15. My question is - how do i build repository in fedora using fedora installation DVD and later on i can install the software from that repository ? :dis:

second issue is - my friend don't have internet connection. so, how do i install the software like - VLC, amarok, and other players offline ? i have downloaded software from RPMFusion, but i am unable to install them. during the installation process, it shows error like - "Can't install src.rpm". there is any other resources where i can get the rpm files so that i can download them and send to my friend and he can install it without any internet connection ? :eek::eek:


installing the software from sources. But it do not work. It shows DBus error when i perform the following command -


Code:
tar -zxvf vlc.tar.gz
./configure [still it is okay]
make
[in this part.. the system gives error - DBus error] even i have tried --disable-DBus but not working. Please suggest.


Alternatively i am trying to download the RPM files from -

http://rpmfusion.org/

But while i try to install it by right-clicking on it, it shows error.

In Short : If Anyone who don't have any internet connection, he /she not able to use fedora ?

Please suggest
