Does yum have a 'file' switch or option like most other programs dealing

Yum works off the repository definitions in /etc/yum.repos.d/
You can setup your own repo fairly simply if you have a collection
of rpms, all you need is to run the createrepo tool over the
directory (then discover the syntax to use in the repo definition
to say "local directory" rather than http: - a syntax I don't remember
right off hand :-).
copy the fedora-updates.repo
change the text between []
change the text after name=
comment the mirrorlist
uncomment the baseurl
baseurl=file:///my/repo/location/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386/
Then you can use the yum --disablerepo and --enablerepo options
to tell it which ones to use.
you might also wish to modify enabled= in the repo files.
P.S. /usr/bin/createrepo comes in the package named "createrepo"
(a miracle! :-).
