Operating Systems Linux Red Hat How to Upgrade Centos 5.7 using Centos 5.8 ISO image on Vmware workstation Post 302688375 by fpmurphy on Sunday 19th of August 2012 01:39:37 AM

Yes, it is possible to do what you want to do. Essentially, what you need to do is create a local repository containing the Centos 5.8 packages and upgrade your system using that repository.

Code:
# mkdir -p /var/www/html/dvd/iso
# mount -o loop /your.iso /var/www/html/dvd/iso
# cd /var/www/html/dvd
# createrepo .
# yum clean all

Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/file.repo which should have the contents as mentioned below:
Code:
[My-Repository]
name=My repository
baseurl=file:///var/www/html/dvd
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

When you do "yum list" you should be able to see the new repository. If so, then you can use "yum upgrade" to upgrade your system.
