Basically you insert the DVD with PackageKit open and it automatically mounts

the disk, grabs the media repo off the disk, and adds it to the list of
 
−
sources. This was added to Fedora in *2009*. If you find the support no longer

working, please file a bug under the PackageKit package.

"... So I installed fedora-release from the F19 repo and did a yum  
 +
distro-sync today. Then I installed a new kernel build. Then I rebooted.
 +
Then nothing would boot at all.
 +
It turns out this is because the release name of Fedora 19 is:
 +
Schrödinger's Cat
 +
with a single quote used as an apostrophe. That release name gets
 +
written into the grub entry for a kernel when you're installing it.
 +
...The single quote in the release name terminates the quotes early, and leaves the rest of the
 +
stuff that's meant to be inside the single quotes as garbage lying

around the config file. ..."

"RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship. That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6; you can use the RPM Fusion repositories with tools like yum and PackageKit."

How to install from the repo on the DVD

  • [Bug 888307]--Satellit 12:35, 18 December 2012 (EST)
--- Comment #1 from Andre Robatino <robatino@fedoraproject.org> ---
I've found (testing on F17) that if I create a local.repo file in
 /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the contents:

 [local]
 name=Local
 baseurl=file:///dev/sr0/
 enabled=0
 gpgcheck=0

I  can then use the DVD as a local repo (disabling all other repos to avoid
downloading updated packages) with a command such as
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=local install XXXXX

Do not install kernel if upgrading to f19

"... So I installed fedora-release from the F19 repo and did a yum distro-sync today. Then I installed a new kernel build. Then I rebooted. Then nothing would boot at all. It turns out this is because the release name of Fedora 19 is: Schrödinger's Cat with a single quote used as an apostrophe. That release name gets written into the grub entry for a kernel when you're installing it. ...The single quote in the release name terminates the quotes early, and leaves the rest of the stuff that's meant to be inside the single quotes as garbage lying around the config file. ..."
