Smile Still cannot use Installation CD/DVD RHEL5 to add & remove packages?


Hi, RHEL5, i have go to directory /etc/yum.repos.d than only have a file "rhel-debuginfo.repo" i enable it enable=1 , but i cannot add&remove a packages from my DVD/CD RHEL5 installation. I have try to create a file on /etc/yum.repos.d directory and edit it as below:

Ok, i enabled this file dvdcd.repo than i can browse whole packages inside this RHEL5 DVD with pirut. I choice to remove some of packages, and add some packages is ok, but went i click ok to process than having a error:

Exception Occurred:

Use the command line: yum remove foo or yum install foo

Use a different GUI yum interface like yumex or kyum from rpmforge;

yum install yumex [or kyum]
