I just thought I’d drop you a line to let you know that I got pirut and yum working with the RHEL5 DVD (thanks to a guy called Jeff who left a comment on my blog) – the working repo file is:

[dvd]
mediaid=1170972069.396645
name=DVD for RHEL5
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_5%20i386%20DVD/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

I guess something similar should work for Fedora 7. It seems that the trick is to add the appropriate folder name to the base URL… obvious when you think about it but had me stumped.

HTH, Mark

In short I modified the .repo file’s baseurl to point to the dvd and added the mediaid of the DVD. pirut seemed to work despite prompting me to insert the CD (I just cancelled the dialogue box). Will see if I can make any progress tonight when I get off work.
