I did this without extracting the RPM files from the DVD; I just moved to the directory above that on which the DVD is mounted. * On the client: clean out old repo data with "yum clean all", then re-run the "yum install emacs" command. I also upgraded the server's creatrepo to the FC6 version, which has an amusing bug: [root@charlesc fc6]# rpm -q createrepo createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6 [root@charlesc fc6]# createrepo -V 0.4.3 Upgrading creatrepo may not be necessary. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
