Yum Server Installation

1. Store software packages on the YUM Server

Mount the RedHatES5 system disk to/mnt.

Regenerate the/rhel5 directory to store the software package:

[Root @ ns100 vmware] # mkdir/rhel5

Mount all the software packages under the Server Directory (which stores some Server software packages) on the CD to/rhel5. Because there are many software packages in the Server directory, rhel5 may not be available, you can format a 5g partition and mount it to the/rhel5 directory.

[Root @ ns100 vmware] # cp-R/mnt/Server/rhel5

Upload the key file (used for client and server authentication) to the specified directory.

[Root @ ns100 vmware] # cp/mnt/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release/rhel5/Server

Note: If you have an iso file (an image file on the optical disk) of a system disk, you can use this file to perform a virtual optical drive and then attach the virtual optical drive to/mnt. The method is as follows:

Mount-o loop redhat. iso/mnt

Enter/mnt to use it;
