With the move to pirut from system-config-packages, we have lost the ability to install packages from CD post-install. This is a loss for people who don't have a fast network connection or just want to use CDs. To resolve this, we need to get more of the CD support in anaconda merged into yum itself. This *must* be done for FC6

Yes yes yes!
any progress on this? will it be ready for test2?
Is this bug WONTFIX? I can imagine that, even if a fix arises, it will be too late for FC-6.
So much work in vain. This system is worthless without it.
This is unbelievable. I just installed FC5 in order to work on a project that specifically requires FC5. The machine in question doesn't have internet access so I've got something less useful than a brick (at least you can pile up bricks and make a nice garden wall). The package manager just plain can't deal with CDs? Who thought it was a bright idea to eliminate support for CD installations? And it's been like this for 6 months now? I sure won't recommend FC to anybody after this...
if you edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo and put baseurl=file:///media/disk pirut works with DVD , don't know what is your problem better with an iso mount -o loop ~sergio/Zod-dvd-i386/FC-6-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/disk and put baseurl=file:///mnt/disk works beautifully
Yum access is broken, despite baseurl=file:///mnt/fc6/ where the DVD image is loop mounted: /fedora-core/6/i386/iso/FC-6-i386-DVD.iso on /mnt/fc6 type iso9660 (ro,loop=/dev/loop0) Yum clean, check-update, and list work fine; but yum install is broken (this also affects pirut): # yum install zsh Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 GMT - Jeremy Katz <katzj> - 1.3.0-1 - Fix a translation problem (#228237) - Start of support for CDs. To test for now, you need to have yum 3.1.2 and add a mediaid= line to your repo. mediaid is the first line of .discinfo from your media
yum-3.2.0 and yum-3.2.1 seems to work again thanks! this bug could be close ?
IMHO this bug should not be closed because for the normal end-user it is too much of a hassle to edit configuration files to get support for media-repositories. I suggest to add some chooser to pirut so that the user can select "Install from CD/DVD" or "Install via Internet" or something like that. Another option is the detection of install-media using HAL. yum and pirut could then act appropriately.
With Fedora 8, things will be set up so that you get a media repo set up automatically if you've done your installation from a media source. This will then make things automatic and work nicely for those who have the media enabled. You'll also be able to then disable the repository within pirut if you no longer have the DVD
