add/remove packages from Fedora 5
i have installed FC5 64 on my PC but when i click on Add/Remove applications icon from the menu the program stops with an error message. this happens even i have my FC5 DVD in the drive
i heard the problem wont exist if there is internet connection "which i dont have for my PC" can anybody suggest a solution to update packages via the DVD? thanks in advance |
I suggest that you search in the Fedora Forum for a solution since this issue has been covered several times. One such thread is http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=446570 .

http://opensourceatwork.blogspot.com...e-package.html thanks everyone for the info :p Hey guys, I tried editing the yum configuration few times and installer didn't work as expected. but finally i got it correct! now i thought of sharing this with u Its pretty easy i had my DVD with 64-bit Fedora core5 1.insert the DVD to Drive 2. cd /etc/yum/yum.repo.d/ 3.change all the enable=1 to 0's in those config files (except for the [core] section of the fedora-core.repo file) 4. comment the internet urls(baseurl=http://...something) by adding # to the begining of each line of the [core] section 5. add the new line"baseurl=file:///media/disk" (here my DVD is mounted to /media/disk ) to the core section 6. now u can add/remove packages :)) |
