I have downloaded centos 6.2 DVD image and installed it on a standalone machine (not attached to internet).
Having done my initial install I want to load extra stuff from the DVD (eclipse etc).
I cannot find a way of making Centos see the DVD drive as a repository, it just seems to try to look for repositories online. (I realise I could just go back and reinstall everything and include eclipse, but there must be a better way!)
Anyone got any pointers as to how I deal with this?

(BTW: I put thread here cos doesn't seem to be a separate Centos forum - or should it go with Red Hat?)

this should still apply for el6 - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-...dvd-using-yum/

I believe this is what you're looking for, also this?

Don't forget to set enabled=0 in the other repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as well as setting enabled=1 in CentOS-Media.repo. Also, put the DVD in and look in /media to see how it mounts: initially the address in my CentOS-Media.repo was wrong.
