I'm trying to do an upgrade from FC6 to F7 with a DVD, the DVD is OK as it passed the check. But after booting, anaconda comes up and the system hangs (text more or graphical mode, does the same). So, I'm trying to do and installation from the DVD using yum, and I encounter several problems: 1) Following instructions from the web I tried to make a dvd.repo file and put it in /etc/yum.repo.d/. The dvd.repo has this: # cat DVD.repo # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d [InstallMedia] name=Fedora 7 mediaid=1180276843.561677 metadata_expire=-1 gpgcheck=0 #cost=500 baseurl=file:///media/Fedora%207%20i386%20DVD If I try with this I get an error about not getting the metadata directory even if I can access it: # yum update --enablerepo=InstallMedia Loading "downloadonly" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "kmdl" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories InstallMedia 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files 0 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
