[Yu, Jerry]

/mnt/cdrom instead of /dev/cdrom, if convention stands?

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

# name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
# baseurl=file:///dev/cdrom/redhat/fedora/linux/core/$releasever
# /$basearch/os
