1. Mount the DVD to a known path (modify the following as per your requirements): mkdir /mnt/dvd mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd If you want to mount the ISO image (instead of the actual DVD): mount -o loop /path/to/iso/image /mnt/dvd 2. Add a yum repository (do as root): vim /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-dvd.repo Add the following in that file: [fedora-dvd] name=Fedora DVD baseurl=file:///mnt/dvd enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 Save and close the file. 3. As given in the file, the repo is disabled by default. Otherwise, every time you use yum, it will try to access the DVD mount point. 4. To install something from the DVD: yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora-dvd install some_package Hope this helps.. regards, Syam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
