A 'man yum' will definitely give you the answer to that. I am away from my machine so can't go further than that. On the other hand this might be an 'apt-get' option so in that case I would try something like [cdrom] name=Local Repository baseurl=file:///mnt/dir/fedora/etc/etc/etc/RPMS.os into the '/etc/yum.conf' and see what happens. :-)
