Could anyone tell me either howto set up yum to run through a proxy or update from a local directory? Have set up proxy server and can ftp and http the net from all machines but mail and yum will not work? What should I have done? Have copied all file from fedora servers and have update tree in /home/myname/x86_64 updates/. Have tried setting yum.conf cachedir=/home/myname/x86_64 updates/ no luck. Have tried baseurl=file:///home/myname/x86_64 updates/ again no luck. I know it is something simple but can't find it, could somebody save me some time? Thanks in advance.
