Hi,
well, I have read all the complaint letters about the $SUBJECT
and I wondered if software installation can be done without
net access but with the FC5 DVD at hand.
I do have a solution for this (now non-)problem.
Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo, so the first three lines reads
like these below.
---------------------------
[core]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=file:///media/disk
---------------------------
Then put your installation DVD into your drive and do
# yum install --exclude="dlm*" --exclude="gnbd*" --exclude="cman*"
--exclude=magma-plugins "*"
I needed those --excludes because yum cannot resolve dependencies
for their kernels and I don't need them. So it still won't install
everything
but after that "yum install magma-plugins" will do the rest.
It would be similar for mirrored updates and extras trees on the harddisk.
I wonder why wasn't it the default baseurl? Maybe worth and RFE in
Bugzilla...
Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi
