This is useful when you want to install packages from the local cdrom or .iso file

Tested on rhel 6.2

== Mount the cdrom ==
This can be a locally attached cdrom or an iso file:
<syntaxhighlight>
# Mount locally attached cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

# Mount iso file
mount -o loop filename-server-6.2.iso /mnt/cdrom
</syntaxhighlight>

== Create the .repo file ==
Create a file: <tt>/etc/yum.repos.d/cdrom.repo</tt>

<syntaxhighlight>
[cdrom]
name=cdrom
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
</syntaxhighlight>

== Yum away! ==
Now you can run yum install against the packages on the DVD/CD

Yum: add a local cdrom repository - Revision history
