It’s obviously useful to set up a local repository in Fedora Core 6 to take files from local repository instead of having to go to the Internet to get them.
In Fedora Core 5 and above, the installer is based on yum and so there is actually yum repository metadata present on the DVD.

Configure yum to use your new repository

[code lang="bash"]

$ su -
# gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/dvd.repo
[/code]

add the following lines to this file and then save it.

[code lang="plain"]

[DVD]
name=Fedora DVD $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=path/to/yuor/dvd/media
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[/code]

Fedora 11 Released

Fedora has just released a new major version, Fedora 11, around six-and-a-half months after the release of Fedora 10. The changelog is extensive, but the screenshot tour shows an alluring operating system. You can read the entire Fedora 11 changelog here, but it’s rather unwieldy. For changes more likely to concern you, visit the Changes in Fedora for Desktop Users page for specifics on desktop, network, printing, multimedia, games, and other tweaks.
