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
