Will it be possible in f8?
I'm just struggling with this in f7 and I found documents to have this
manually for fc5 and fc6 but it seems that trying to translate to f7 I
continue to receive the message:
Impossible to retrieve information about software
and pirut closes.
What I did after installing from f7 i386 dvd:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
changed these in fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo
a) commented mirrorlist line
b) inserted baseurl=file:////media/disk
c) mounted f7 dvd under /media/disk
yum clean all
Anything else?
I think it could be of some help to have a possibly graphical way to
configure this for f8 so that just in case one could add/remove/update
packages offline.
I'm setting up a pc for a friend of mine and unfortunately it has not a
network card... tomorrow I'm going to buy one ;-(
