Adding Sources to Add/Remove Software w/out Internet Connection
I am very new to Linux so please bare with me.
I need to create sources for Add/Remove Software, since I will not have an internet connection in a development lab. I'm still unsure of how to create a repository, since that is what I think I'm supposed to do. I have an FTP location of where the .rpm files are, but no idea how to have Add/Remove Software point to it. Any ideas? Again, please bare with me. I'm very new :) |
I'm guessing this is Fedora? Or OpenSuse? We need to know distro information.
Also, are these rpm's set up as a repository already or are you trying to use them as if they were a repository (which would require you to create a local repository)? |

The rpms are not yet set up as a local repository. I have read somewhere to use "yum install createrepo," but since I don't have an internet connection, I cannot do that. |
Actually, you can if you've got the install media (or burn a copy on another system)

You're welcome :)
Incidentally, (just for background info) it is possible to setup a yum proxy, so that your system gets stuff from the net, via another system. Also, there is 'Spacewalk' which sets up a complete install repo internally, complete with Channels/settings for each registered system. The RHEL version is called Satellite. |
