1. Edit the core, updates & extras repo files and set enabled=0.
2. create an new local-rpms.repo
 [local-rpms]
name=my local rpms
baseurl=file:///usr/local/src/rpms
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

3.  copy the rpm's into /usr/local/src/rpms

4. cd /usr/local/srv/rpms

5. run 'createrepo .' to create metadata needed by yum. ( You need to 
install createrepo rpms first)

6. you can now run yum update & yum install from the rpms in your local 
repo.

7. You need to run createrepo every time you change the content of 
/usr/local/srv/rpms.

8. you can copy the content of /usr/local/srv/rpms (after createrepo has 
been executed) and the local-rpms.repo to another machine, and use the 
repo there.

9. if you have more local machines to update, then creating a local 
webserver with rpms and the metadata created by createrepo and change 
the baseurl in the local-rpms.repo to point to 
'http://yourlocalserver/directory/with/your/rpms/and/metadata/'
