&gt;# 
&gt;# 
&gt;# I have not tried this but ...
&gt;# in the yum.conf file there are sections which provide repository URLs 
&gt;# for yum to search for updated headers and files. After the line which 
&gt;# starts with &quot;baseurl&quot; below, insert in the path to your CDROM
&gt;# such as 
&gt;# file:///dev/cdrom/redhat/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os
&gt;# or whatever the proper device and directory is on your CD. Be sure to 
&gt;# update the &quot;[base]&quot;, &quot;[base-debuginfo]&quot;  and other sections.
&gt;# You should not have to revert these changes to the yum.conf file when 
&gt;# you are done (so that you can continue to get the newest updates the 
&gt;# next time) as long as you don't keep the CD in the tray. Yum is smart 
&gt;# enough to try the next useable repository (which would be hiwaay.net 
&gt;# online in the example below) in that case.
&gt;# Good luck!
&gt;# -Brian
&gt;# 
&gt;# Example:
&gt;# 
&gt;# [base]
&gt;# name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
&gt;# baseurl=file:///dev/cdrom/redhat/fedora/linux/core/$releasever
&gt;# /$basearch/os

&gt;&gt;I've downloaded and burned the FC2 DVD.  I want to download all the
&gt;&gt;current updates and place them on DVD because when I run yum and
&gt;&gt;download over http it is too slow.  Is there a way I can tell yum
&gt;&gt;be command line or /etc/yum.conf to look at my update DVD for the
&gt;&gt;updaets?
