RHEL 4 local repo

Mount the RHEL 4 installation ISO.

mount -o loop,ro RHEL4.8-x86_64-AS-DVD.iso /media/cdrom

Comment out the following line in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

This will prevent up2date from connecting to Red Hat Network

up2date default

Change to:

#up2date default

create a line like the following in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

dir mydvdrepo /media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
