the fact that CERN is behind this distro, is a great news, however, Centos is not lagging behind in updates as you seem to suggest, have a look at the following links, and see for yourself.

Please note I love all type of distros, and I am not with or against any of them.

I had to unhide the folder to find it. Once you find the folder, go to the task bar above it where it says, “Organize” and click delete. Had a bit of trouble finding where THAT was…hahaha. Thanks everyone for the help, you’re AMAZING!!! =D

Thanks for the post!

In response to Joe_Wulf’s post, adding the following to your repo file in each repo stanza would probably help, since you’ve decided to gpgcheck=1, otherwise, yum installing any package from the media would complain that the GPG key does not exist:

gpgkey=/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Note that you can either import the GPG keys (with the following command as root: gpg –import /srr/RHEL6_x64_OS/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release) and use the path above in your repo definition or simply just refer to the location of the GPG keys of your RHEL6 that are available on the installation media (e.g., gpgkey=file:///srv/RHEL6_x64_OS).

e.g.,:

[baseOS]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever – $basearch baseOS
baseurl=file:///srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
#gpgkey=file:///srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Comment on openSUSE Samba Server by Paul

Thank you for your hint!!! I have wasted two days trying to figure out why an openSUSE 11.3 Samba setup would not work in openSUSE 11.4.

Setting the Mode to complain for usr.sbin.nmbd and usr.sbin.smbd fixed the problem.

@Lapu Lapu,

Your info gave a really good start for setting up my own local RHEL6 repo—as doing so is a little different than for RHEL5. Thank you.

I created my local RHEL6 DVD repo, as follows:

# mkdir /srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
# mount /dev/cdrom /media
# /bin/cp -rpf /media/* /srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
# umount /media

I created “/etc/yum.repos.d/RHEL_6.1_x86_64DVD.repo” with the following contents:
———————————————–
[baseOS]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever – $basearch baseOS
baseurl=file:///srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

[ScalableFileSystem]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever – $basearch ScalableFileSystem
baseurl=file:///srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

[Workstation]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever – $basearch Workstation
baseurl=file:///srv/RHEL6_x64_OS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
———————————————–

With those contents in place, there is no longer a requirement to do any ‘createrepo’ commands, as this structure natively leverages the ‘repos’ inherent on the distributed media. Further, at least in my testing, so far, no ‘mediaID’ line was necessary. YMMV

The commands you suggest running at the end now worked completely for me.
