Okey, here is something interesting.

So I finished downloading all CentOS 4.4 images (CDs and DVD) before anything else. Now I have the dvd iso mounted (-o loop), and changed CentOS-Base.repo so the [base] repo will point to it.

# yum update

Boom! Yum tries to use the [update] repository (not local) to upgrade to 4.4.

What I ended up doing is:

# yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=base update

Which, of course, works fine and uses my local (file://) repository.

Is this the only way to do it, or did I miss something ?

There is a "New Thing"(tm) in this update set :) (don't you just love new things :)

If you install the new centos-release rpm, you should have a /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo file

If you then stick in a CentOS DVD (the CD's won't work as there is no mechanism to change them out), it will normally automount into either:

/media/cdrom

or

/media/cdrecorder

If it automounted, you can do this:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c4-media update

(if it did not automount, then do this first (based on which one you are using):

mount /media/cdrom

or

mount /media/cdrecorder
