Or you can just mount the cdrom, cd into the RPM directory and directly install emacs. You can't run createrepo on a mounted read-only cd.
Yes. I did try it. But, it cannot resolve the dependencies automatically. While browsing through the Manual page for createrepo command, I came across these words.
Code:
-o --outputdir <url>
Optional output directory (useful for read only media).

It should tell you the dependencies though and you can install those manually as well.
As for the other issue, you're trying to plug-in your IP Address in the yum but it can't change to the correct directory probably due to the path. What is the root directory for you serving out FTP from? Did you even try the local repository as described from billmayday to use the local file system and not ftp?

Note: 192.168.0.128 is my IP address.
Are you sure that's the correct media name? My CentOS for example is CenrOS_5.0_Final

In which directory should I run the createrepo command?
How to enable the client to access these repositories?
In post #3 the OP stated he is using RHEL5, not CentOS.
I realised that, my point was that the disk name suppled looked like a Fedora name (with spaces) whereas the CentOS has undersores, and that th OP needed to check the name.
