[nzlug] Using yum from local repos

[Patrick Connolly]

I'm trying to add to the installation of FC6 from the rpms I copied
from the CDs to hard disk.  Following some advice I found on a Redhat
site (can't find it now), I modified /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo
so that the baseurl points to that directory instead of
fedoraproject.org/blah/de/blah....

However, the advice was incomplete for my use, at least: it doesn't
say how to tell yum to go straight to the rpms instead of its usual
mucking around with the /repomd.xml business.

Advice as to where I should be looking for that information or what
would be a more sensible approach would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx
