Make a directory to hold your new repository. Let's call that "/path/to/your/repo". Make a further subdirectory of that, called "dvd". Command needed to do these: # mkdir -p /path/to/your/repo/dvd 2. Mount your DVD ISO image on this "dvd" directory. Command needed to do this: # mount -r -o loop /path/to/FC3-i386-DVD.iso /path/to/your/repo/dvd Then follow the rest of the instructions I have in the previous email.
