Hello, I have CentOS 5.4 installed.
Now I'm trying to install Xen with out connecting to Internet (I have any driver for modem, so I search on Inernet only from Windows).
All I have are 7 installation disks.
First I done was to find kind of some add/remove programs wizard but it needed connection to Inernet.
Second I try was to find Xen rpm on all disks and install it. But I fell on some dependency of some dependency.
Third I attempted was to boot from first disk and do upgrade, but also it was unsuccessfully...
So my question is: is there some way to install Xen from CentOS installation disks with out network?

Thank you for ahead.

adapt for centos discs, use the first disc first.

Might have to use this tarball to make your own install.

Yes, I will try to install Xen with separate installer, but any way I need to know how to install from disks.

Thank you, I did how it was wrote, and use both ways with command line and GUI, but in two cases I get error at the and of process after dependency resolution. The error begin so:
-----------------------
xen-libs-3.0.3-94.el5.x86_64:
failure: CentOS/xen-libs-3.0.3-94.el5.x86_64.rpm from c5-media:
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
libvirt-0.6.3-20.el5.i386:
failure: CentOS
-----------------------
I tried three first disks, and I think thatI will get the same error for other four...

It looks like you haven't specified the path correctly.
It is looking for the wrong things in the wrong places.

Post the entire yum output please.

Also, post your repo here, and a listing of the first centos cd.

Thank you for replay and sory for my late reaction.

This is /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-media.repo:
[c5-media]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/
file:///media/cdrom/
file:///media/cdrecorder/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

In /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo all enabled = 0

Again sorry for waiting.

Do you have to say something about that? Thank you for ahead.

Your repo is not set up right.

baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/

should be

baseurl=file:///media/CentOS_5.4_Final/CentOS/

also get rid of

file:///media/cdrom/
file:///media/cdrecorder/

I won!!!
I tried what you suggest, but it is not exactly worked.
For get this working I coppied all rpm's from all 7 discs to /repository/CentOS that I was created before that, I summed all contents of TRANS.TBL files from all discs in CentOS directory to one file and saved it in /repository/CentOS/TRANS.TBL, after this I put the importest directory named repodata from first disc (/media/CentOS_5.4_Final/repodata) to /repository/repodata
After that I coppied CentOS-Media.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d to, for instance: CentOS-Local.repo and set baseurl to: baseurl=file:///repository/
Only to /repository/ not to /repository/CentOS/ or /repository/repodata
The last thing was to disable all other repositories like it was described here before.
This is the only way to get it working I thing, because when yum not find some dependency on current cd disc, it throw error instead of require following disc like in "Other OS's".

Thank you for your help.
