You should be able to. I usually use NFS rather than FTP, but the concepts are similar. I take it you are using the CD isos, rather than the DVD iso. You can mount the DVD ISO to a mount point in your FTP tree, and use that as is. For CD ISOs, mount them all, and then run createrepo on the lot. Do something like: su - <enter root's password> cd /var/ftp/pub mkdir fc5 cd fc5 <make mount points for CD ISOs> <mount cds as usual> createrepo . The last command will create a directory, repodata. On the installation machine, point Anaconda to /pub/fc5. Then, once you have a working installation, make those mount points (semi-)permanent. Then, set your core repo's base url as follows: fedora-core.repo [core] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever baseurl=ftp://<server>/pub/fc$releasever enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY Let us know how that works. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
