How to install from the repo on the DVD 

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.
  • Tested and did not seem to work in f18 --Satellit 10:36, 18 December 2012 (EST)
