'createrepo' is part of the 'createrepo' package. If you need to
install software off of your DVD, you can do so manually with rpm. Or,
if you want to use yum:
1. Insert your DVD into your DVD drive.
2. Run df to see where the DVD mountd (should be /media/something)
3. Create a file /etc/yum.repos/rhel-media.repo file with the
following contents:
[rhel5-media]
name=RHEL-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/something/Server/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
Set baseurl to the path you found in step #2 with /Server/ on the
end as in the example.
4. Run the following command to install your software:
# yum --enablerepo=rhel5-media install createrepo
Untested, but I believe should work...
