Often I need to install packages that are on the RHEL install DVD and being able to use the install ISO without having a Red Hat subscription or license is extremely useful.
- Mount the DVD to cdrom folder
mkdir /cdrom mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
- Create yum local repo file:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d vi local.repo
and past this content:
[LocalRepo] name=Local Repository baseurl=file:///cdrom enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
save the file and clean yum repository cache:
yum clean all
Job done.
