CREATE LOCAL YUM REPOSITORY

1) Copy all the RPMS from the DVD to a particular folder lets say /root/os/RPMS

2) Install createrepo RPM from /root/os/RPMS directory using rpm command

3) Now, we will have to create repo of the directory in which we have coied the RPMS. Following is the command to create the repo

.........>createrepo /root/os/RPMS

Once the above command gets completed you will find repodata directory in /root/os/RPMS folder

4) configuing YUM to work with local repository. Create a new file in /etc/yum.repo.d/ or open /etc/yum.conf and paste following

[local repo]
 name = OS $release - MyLocalRepo 
baseurl = file:///root/os/RPMS/ 
enabled=1 
gpgcheck=0
