'RPM -qV name' will check the validity of rpm 'name'.  It should tell
you if those files are correct, or not.  If you find a package that is
bad, just 'rpm -ivh package-x.y-z.rpm --force' should reinstall it.

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

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