Hey Guys,
I had selected the "Customize later" option, while installing FC6. Now I have the dumped the rpms to my disk and want yum to use the rpms in local disk., rather than getting them from the repositories.
For eg. yum groupinstall "development tools" should start picking the rpms which I've dumped to the local disk.
I tried setting up a web server on local box and configring yum to use it. however it wasn't entirely successful.
Can this be done? Is there an easier method (other than going to online repositories) or am I missing any options of yum?
Regards Anoop

Try creating your own copy of the repodata using "createrepo". Supposing you have your FC6 RPMs copied to /srv/distros/fc6/i386/RPMS, try this:
1. Copy the comps.xml file from the repodata directory on your install media to /srv/distros/fc6/i386
$ cd /srv/distros/fc6/i386 $ createrepo -g comps.xml .
Then point yum at the /srv/distros/fc6/i386 directory for your core repo and see how it goes.
Paul.

If you copied rpm files from the DVD, you do not need to run createrepo because the repodata directory is included. But if you copied rpm's from individual CD's, then you need to create the repodata by running createrepo. Either way, once you have them ready and suppose your repodata directory is in /pathto/fc6, add this line to the .repo file:
baseurl=file:///pathto/fc6
Note the three slashes.
