using yum to update a fc5 dvd distro

scalman · 05-09-2006, 10:05 AM

I have made my own distro dvd using the fc5 dvd image and have been able to make a working dvd image.

I am now trying to figure out how to use yum to update that distro. It has sucessfully updated the fc5 system that i use to make the distro dvd but the rpms in the distro are not changed.

I don't know if this is the way to update the distro, or maybe i should just rsync a update directory on one of the mirrored sites

I'm assuming you want to update installed packages. To do that, run as root:

Code:

yum -y update

Tried that but what i want to do is update the RPMS so i don't have to run yum on the system i am loading with it.
They will not have any network connect to it.

use this script I wrote. (save to a directory of your choice preferrably /home/"yourusernamehere"
http://oirere.oi.ohost.de/myrepo.repo
http://oirere.oi.ohost.de/myrepo.sh

First make sure that these two files are in the same directory. (I used my home directory)
Then execute the script.

Quote:

bash myrepo.sh

Then have your root password ready.
It will get the files needed and install your repo
p.s. make sure you have an internet connection.
