I have a few CentOS VMs at work and they tend to use the CentOS-5 DVD image in my HD. Assuming that image is accessible in the VMs as /media/CentOS, I can just invoke yum like this: # yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install tomcat5 This works because the install from the CentOS DVD also sets up the DVD as a local media repository, with configuration in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo . Hope this helps... Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
