View 2 RepliesI was asked to come up with a solution to get updates to our linux computers on a classified network. I was told to create a local YUM repository and have the clients connect to it. -- Simple right. No at least not to me. The last time I worked with linux was back on WS3, things have changed. So let me explain my situation. I have various Red Hat Linux versions -- 5.1, 5.4 & 5.5 that are not connected to the internet and never will be. I need a way to grab updates for those versions and load them.
I have one linux RHEL 5.5 with paid subscription that is allowed to be connected to the internet.I was going to use this one as my repository to download the packages I need, disconnect from the internet and have my "blessed" machines access it through an nfs share. Possible solutions were to create a local YUM repository, set up a mirror or perhaps red hat satellite (which may or may not coast more money.) I need an easy to step by step guide or what would be the best solution.
Why does this happen? I am (this time) trying to install Atmel's gnu-avr toolchain. Atmel's web site gives the repository as http:www.atmel.no/avr32/suse/11.0/i586. I put that into YAST2's repository manager, and it comes back with "unable to create repository from URL..."
Why does this happen? It's hardly unique to the Atmel repository: in fact, it seems to be YAST's default behavior on ANYTHING other than the official SUSE repos.
Is there some way to fix this, or bypass it with some other installation tool, so I can get the software I need?
I have a small installation problem with openSUSE 11.2 I have read the relevant stuff in the forums for new users. I have downloaded openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586-iso and verified the file using MD5. I am currently running windows XP (SP1) on a Fujitsu Siemens V1000 laptop andI am trying to install linux from my hard drive and not from a DVD drive.
The path to the downloaded file on my windows partition is: e:/OpenSuse/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso I have initialised installation and selected sda6 as the partition where the sourcefile is located. and when prompted for the directory, I typed " /OpenSuse/openSUSE-11.2DVD-i586.iso " The installations then proceeded through to "Initialising Package Manager" upon which I get the following message:
" Unable to create repository from url' iso:/? iso=openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso&url=hd:/OpenSuse?device=/dev/sda6"
DETAILS: Failed to mount iso:///?iso=openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso & url=hd:/OpenSuse?device=dev/sda6 on: Unable to find iso filename on source media.
History: - File:/openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso not found on medium 'hd:///OpenSuse?device=dev/sda6'
There is an option to try again at which point an additional dialog box appears and I have the opportunity to change things. Other than that, the only option is to cancel and terminate the installation. I've tried the process around 3 times, but if I'm doing the same thing then not surprising I'm getting the same result.
Trying to install on an older Dell D600 laptop. During the install process on the system probing screen I get the following error message: Unable to create repository from URL 'cd:/'

I am trying to add a few additional repositories to SLES 11 64-bit but I can't seem to get them added. I am trying to add Index of /repositories/server:/database but I get the error "Unable to create repository from [URL]... Try again? So I browsed that repository and then tried to add Index of /repositories/server:/database/SLE_11 but still got the error message with this new URL listed instead. I tried just the 11.2 repository and it worked - Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse.
How or what do I need to do in order to get Index of /repositories/server:/database added to my repository?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell my local LUG has developed a cooperation with the university. Their major is music. So we would like to develop a local repository to help the updates to be faster. I checked the How to set up a local Yum Repository on Fedora 8. I guess it's same with 12.
My questions are:
1. How much space do we need?
2. Since we might setup repository for another distro, is it a way to be done with other distro? The above address describes only how to make it in Fedora.
3. Since we'll have it installed and will be usefull for the university, can we make it available to the rest of the world? Maybe contact someone for this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been unlucky searching Google and this site concerning this and hope that someone on here has either done this before or could point me in the right direction. I have a computer on my network that I want to use as a local repository for apt. I've got the set of Debian Lenny 5.04 CD's and would like to know how to put all of the packages from those CD's onto this computer and then use it as a local source for my Debian computers to get packages from. The CD's appear to hold all of the packages in the folder /pool if that helps at all.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm unable to create a linux boot cd with a kickstart file. I have a working kickstart file and a working boot image (tested by booting using the network for the kickstart file), but I can't seem to put them both on the DVD.
Here are the steps I took
1. mount the *.iso file to /mnt/isosetups
2. Recursively copy all the files from /mnt/isosetups to /mnt/bootcd
3. removing /mnt/bootcd/isolinux/boot.cat
4. running the mkisofx command (used -c to recreate boot.cat)
5. put the new image on a windows box and burned to a dvd using roxio
The result was that I could enter the red hat boot menu but the server couldn't find the boot image on the cd. I could go into more detail about what commands I entered, my environment, what I tested, etc.

I don't know if I should use i586 or i686.
