How can I update the software packages from CD

question 1: where is the yum source configration file? I can't see any website address in /etc/yum.conf .

question 2: Can I update & install software packages from CD instead of network(like debian)? how?

thanks a lot.

Answer 1: [b]man yum[/b] and look at the [b]FILES[/b] section near the end.
Answer 2: Part 1 - yes. Part 2 - insert the CD into the drive, ensure it is mounted, then issue your [i]yum[/i] command like this:

[b]yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media [i]package-name[/i][/b]

HTH.
