This is a short procedure that will tell you how to set up a local repository (repo) for use by the yum command, to install packages from onto your system. In this procedure, we assume you have the RHEL installation DVD inserted into your virtual or physical drive.
Mount the drive:
Then create the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, called local.repo:# mkdir /cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
From now on you can use this local repository to install software, such as wireshark:# cd /etc/yum.repos.d # vi local.repo [local] name=Local Repo baseurl=file:////cdrom enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 protect=1
# yum install wireshark
