Is it possible?
I found documents for fc5 and fc6 but it seems that trying to translate to
f7 I continue to receive the message:
Impossible to retrieve information about software
and pirut closes.
What I did after installing from f7 i386 dvd:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
changed these in fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo
a) commented mirrorlist line
b) inserted baseurl=file:////media/disk
Wouldn't you need to go one directory deeper as with
baseurl=file:////media/disk/Fedora/ or is the repodata out on the root
for the DVD?
I never installed from DVD directly as a repo. I usually move the rpms
to a location somewhere on disk and then run createrepo /dir/dir/dir
I make the local.repo file reflect the baseurl=file:///dir/dir/dir
Yum then works. I am not sure if pirut will have any problems using my
tried methods. I believe pirut could not find groups but did not crash.
yum clean all
Anything else?
BTW: is it planned anything for f8 so that just in case one could
add/remove/update packages offline in a more user friendly way?
I run what is to be Fedora 8. I do not see anything in the menus for
install from DVD. It sure would make things much easier for
non-networked installs.
