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...
