Full Discussion: Install Fedora core 10.0 packages

FC10 uses yum. There is yum repository with the requisite metadata on the DVD.

Step 1 is to create a directory for your repository and mount the DVD there:

# mkdir -p /path/to/your/repo
# mount -r -o loop /media/Fedora 10 i368 DVD /path/to/your/repo

If you are using x86-64, replace i386 with x86-64. As I do not have a Fedora 10 LiveCD in front of me (I am travelling), I may have gotten the DVD label wrong but it will be something close to "Fedora 10 i368 DVD"

Step 2 is to configure yum to use your new repository by creating a new entry in /etc/yum.repos.d. Easiest way is to copy the fedora.repo entry and save it as, say, fedora-dvd.repo and then edit this file:

- change the line [fedora] to [fedora-dvd]
- change the name line to name=Fedora 10 DVD (or whatever you want it to be)
- change the baseurl line to baseurl=file:///path/to/your/repo
- delete any mirrorlist line
- make sure enabled=1

Typically file:///path/to/your/repo is file:///media/Fedora%2010%20i386%20DVD

Finally edit the other .repo files and change enabled=1 to enabled=0, and clear the yum caches with yum clean all.

You should then be good to go.
