Here are some notes I wrote down when I wanted to install some SW from
my DVD. Probably the simplest thing would be to go read

Hope this helps...

6) Found http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1055, which describes how to
force pirut to use the installation CDs instead of network
repositories. Based on that, I commented out the following line
from /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo:
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
and replaced it with:
## Changed by wpd 07/17/06 to load from the DVD instead of the network
baseurl=file:///media/disk
But pirut still seemed to look for the network. Some more
tweaking is in order.
There's also this article that I wrote, which covers FC3 and FC4 as well
as FC5, and also the use of CD ISO images if you have those instead of
the DVD ISO:
