Chris, Thanks for the info! Actually, it isn't quite the root directory of the dvd; I needed to set the baseurl as follows:
baseurl=file:///mnt/dvd/YellowDog Where the 5.01 install iso dvd was mounted on /mnt/dvd, and its root directory contained directories 'repodata' and 'YellowDog/RPMS', among others. That worked perfectly for me with yum from the command line, though not, for some reason, with the GUI package manager from the 'System => Add/Remove Packages' menu. John Wright Dr. John M.
