    Question DVD as repos ?

    How do I get Fedora to look in the DVD when installing software with yum, I'm guessing that most every application is on the DVD...

    Thanks,
    Xav

    1. create a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, mine is installcd.repo

    [installcd]
    name=Fedora Core 5 Installation DVD
    baseurl=file:///media/disk
    enabled=1
    gpgkey=file:///media/disk/RPM-GPG-KEY
    gpgcheck=1

    ## baseurl : give the path where the repodata folder exists
    ## gpgkey : give path of folder where RPM-GPG-KEY exists

    save this file and run yum as root

    PS : To use any other DVD (other than installation DVD) as repo it must have a RPMS folder where all rpm files reside
    Else copy all rpm files in a RPMS folder and use createrepo to create a repo of that location
