See if this works: cd /mnt/storage/RH/Updates/4/i386 # rpm -Uvh \ glibc-2.3.5-10.3.i686.rpm \ glibc-common-2.3.5-10.3.i386.rpm \ glibc-devel-2.3.5-10.3.i386.rpm \ glibc-headers-2.3.5-10.3.i386.rpm If you've mirrored the "repodata" directory along with the packages themselves, you could actually use yum: /etc/yum/repos.d/fedora-updates.repo: [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ #mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/updates-released-fc$releasever baseurl=file:///mnt/storage/RH/Updates/$releasever/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora "yum update" would then get updates from your mirror.
