To get yum to look at your DVD:
1. You'll need the "createrepo" package installed.
2. Let's say your DVD is mounted at /my/software/lib/fedora/3/dvd
# cd /my/software/lib/fedora/3
# createrepo .
That should result in a directory /my/software/lib/fedora/3/repodata
being created.
3. Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and comment out the line:
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-
$releasever
add a line:
baseurl=file:///my/software/lib/fedora/3
Yum should now use your DVD.
Thanks for that Paul.I've saved it on my desktop to try a little later. I'm
playing with ks installs atm.
I've also changed the subject line to help others find it in the arcives.
