Fedora DVD == Yum Repository
Last night i corrupted out my Xorg ,and was left in the 'Black World' of run-level 3. While trying to re-install it through YUM the N/W went out [all bad against me]. So had no other option than to install the xorg server though the Fedora DVD that i had. Trying my hands to configure the DVD as the source for YUM was a great experience ,though it was much simple task. Better to go step by step[Everything as a super user] : 1. All of the repositories configuration files under /etc/yum.repos.d/ were backed up and placed under a new directory created /etc/yum.repos.d/back-up/ #mv /etc/yum.repos.d/* /etc/yum.repos.d/back-up/ 2. A new file 'dvd.repo' was created under /etc/yum.repos.d/ that will act as the configuration file for the new repository to be created with source as the Fedora DVD. 3. The file 'dvd.repo' was opened up in vi editor and following lines were added in there [dvd] name=DVD baseurl=file:/media/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 and the file was saved. PS...
