[PLUG] problem setting fedora13 iso as repository

[Vinayak Kulkarni]

Thanks for the reply.
I performed the step as you have described.

createrepo has generated necessary xml files.

I also created iso.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

content of iso.repo
[iso]
baseurl=file:///path/to/mounted/iso
enabled=1

still yum is not installing packages from this source.

it is returning with some error saying "bad id with iso.repo".

Did you mount the DVD ISO, copy the RPMs over to a location with write
permissions and then run createrepo ?
