Hey Guys,
I had selected the "Customize later" option, while installing
FC6. Now I have the dumped the rpms to my disk and want yum
to use the rpms in local disk., rather than getting them from the
repositories.
For eg. yum groupinstall "development tools" should start picking
the rpms which I've dumped to the local disk.
I tried setting up a web server on local box and configring yum to use
it. however it wasn't entirely successful.
Can this be done? Is there an easier method (other than going to
online repositories) or am I missing any options of yum?
Try creating your own copy of the repodata using "createrepo". Supposing
you have your FC6 RPMs copied to /srv/distros/fc6/i386/RPMS, try this:
1. Copy the comps.xml file from the repodata directory on your install
media to /srv/distros/fc6/i386
$ cd /srv/distros/fc6/i386
$ createrepo -g comps.xml .
Then point yum at the /srv/distros/fc6/i386 directory for your core repo
and see how it goes.
