You can ad a repo for the DVD. Or you can replace the URL in the base repo with the DVD. This is not created by default because not everyone installs from a DVD, or keeps the DVD in the drive.Hi,After installing Fedora8 i386 how can I acces aditional programs on instalation DVD?I tried without success:* Butting again from instalation DVD and go to System update, but there is no option to add aditional software. * From: Applications -> Add/Remove Software but than I get "Retrieving software information" window which stays like that for a large period of time. Even with existance of Internet connection I receive Unhandled exeption...Is this some kind of a bug, and is there a solution? Vlada
I have used a slightly different method in the past. I have the DVD image on the hard drive. I use a loopback mount to mount it on /var/www/html/Fedora. I then use that directory for the address of a repo.
In /etc/fstab: /shared/Fedora-8.iso /var/www/html/Fedora auto loop,ro 0 0 dvd.repo: [fedora-dvd] name=Fedora-DVD $releasever - $basearch failovermethod=priority baseurl=file:///var/www/html/Fedora enabled=1 gpgcheck=1gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GP
