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
