Hello,

So, do you means :
1, edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo or
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo, whichever one is present
2, comment out any line starting with baseurl or mirrorlist
3, add a new line:
eg : baseurl=file:///usr/local/src/rpms

then copy any rpm package files in there, then run "yum localinstall
rpm-file-name"

right ?

Edward.
