Hello, - I had created successfully a Yum server on my local LAN. - I have an FC7 client on this LAN. - I had added , in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo the follwoing line: baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.131/pub/fedora/core/7/x86_64/os and commented the original baseurl line in this file. So the [fedora] section in fedora.repo looks like: [fedora] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/ baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.131/pub/fedora/core/7/x86_64/os mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY where on ftp://192.168.0.131/pub/fedora/core/7/x86_64/os there are the distro files and 192.168.0.131 runs an FTP server. When I ran from the client on this LAN: yum -y install mc I see that it starts with other mirrors; it first says: http://ftp.hostrino.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out and then installs mc from a different mirror. So my question is: how to avoid from a mirror (as of course it is quicker to install from a local LAN) Regards, Ian _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
