By editing yum.conf, people will get the warnings about repos already being defined. The baseurls seem to be inconsistent. If you've run "createrepo /var/www/html/yum/base" then the baseurl should be: http://192.168.0.xx/yum/base and not: http://192.168.0.xx/yum/Fedora/core/$releasever/base/RPMS A better tweak for the baseurl on the machine hosting the local repo is: rather than: baseurl=http://localhost/yum/base use: baseurl=file:///var/www/html/yum/base This makes yum faster because it doesn't bother downloading and caching the packages from the web server. In step 5, there is a typo: /var/www/html/yum/upates in the rsync command should be /var/www/html/yum/updates Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
