In the repo manager feature in Add/Remove software (pirut) you should be 
able to disable the network repos and add the local repo if you have one 
already setup for the disc.
Alternatively you could setup a local repo on your system and move the 
rpms to the disk space. You will need to manually create a repo file and 
install the createrepo program to run on the directory you placed the 
rpms within.
There should be websites setup where people put down the step by step 
processes needed on. I don't know of any links off hand though.
It is not too hard to setup.
