You'll probably want the latest (security-patched) versions of everything, not the DVD ones (so long ago!) so downloading from the net is still my recommendation. But if you really want to, you can create a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ pointing at your NFS share. See the ones already there for examples, and use file:/// urls. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
