I believe that using this alias is useless.

But the removal of localinstall doesn´t mean an easy to remember alias wouldn´t be of use, it´d just mean that the syntax would change to alias localyum='yum --disablerepo=* ´

ie localyum install /media/CentOS6/Packages/whatever.rpm

Little old thread, but needs answer for future reference.

"yum install <rpm>" works, and I think it worked/works on CentOS 5.x. I stumbled on this while installing dependencies for packages I recompiled. I was installing while in directories with rpm file and using wildcards in yum install command.
