RHEL5.1 yum source with CD

RHEL5.4 can directly use the disc as the yum source, while RHEL5.1 cannot directly use the disc as the source. Otherwise ???????? Urlopenerrorunknownurltype: media, which needs to be modified.

RHEL5.4 can directly use the disc as the yum source, while RHEL5.1 cannot directly use the disc as the source. Otherwise ???????? Urlopen error unknown url type: media, which needs to be modified. Note that the method provided here does not need to copy a large number of files on the disc.

1. Mount the CD image to the/media/RHEL/directory.
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]#mkdir /media/RHEL
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]#mount /root/rhel5.1.iso /media/RHEL -o loop

2. Generate a library file
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]#mkdir /media/yum/
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]#rpm -ivh /media/RHEL/Server/createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6.noarch.rpm
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]createrepo -o /media/yum/ -g /media/RHEL/Server/repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml /media/RHEL/Server/
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]mount --bind /media/yum/repodate/ /media/RHEL/Server/repodate/

3. generate dependency
[Root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop] # vim/etc/yum. repos. d/rhel-debuginfo.repo

Change to a similar
[rhel]
name=Red
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL/Server/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-RedHat-release
[root@www.linuxidc.com Desktop]# yum clean all;yum makecache

The local YUM source under RHEL5.1 is so OK. Note that a large number of files are not copied but mounted.
