I have a Fedora 12 and OpenSuse DVD with me. It consists of lots of packages and hence to install these packages I don't have to download them. What I want to do is copy the package folder on my local machine and then add them as repository in Synaptic Packet Manager.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe school where my wife works has a local repository, which makes upgrading really easy (considering I live in Ethiopia and bandwidth is limited...). But the problem is that I don't know how to upgrade the sources. They are all still saying Lucid instead of Natty.
how do I update my sources so that they are relevant for Natty? Is it just a matter of changing "lucid" to "natty"? Or something more complicated?
if i had a set of dvd's with ubuntu software repositories on them, but i didn't want to have to eject and load a new disc everytime i wanted to install packages with dependencies over several discs. would i be able to copy the discs to my harddrive and set up synaptic to use a location on my harddrive with subfolders containing packages? i tried these instructions [URL] but they seem to get a bit blurry when it gets to the part that i'm interested in ie. nfs (works only if the computer is connected to a NFS share)

I am organizing for the 14th march a Linux installation fest, and I would like to have a local server with all packets that I will need to complete the installation.BUT I would like to have these packets in a way that is usuable by yum, so like having a local repository server.You will agree with me that I cannot mirror the entire repository server (for disk space) but some packets yes, but I don't know how.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just purchased openSUSE 11.2 x64 on DVD from osdisc.com, as well as the 5 x64 repository DVD's. The base install went fine, but when I try to add thos's to my software repositories using yast they all have the same listed name, "repository" - I can change that to show "repository disk 1" etc, but when I go to install stuff and the software installer asks for "repository disk 1" I put that in the dvd drive, and it cannot recognise it, spits it out and asks for the same disk again...hmmmm. Should I not change the default name that comes up when each DVD is added to the list? If I leave them unchanged will I be told which is the correct disk to insert, remembering that in the list they all have the same name

View 6 Replies View RelatedCouple of days I go I setup VLC using Kubuntu's graphic software manager, and installed the 3 plug-ins, one of which was related to pulse. After doing this sound stopped working in flash videos. I had read, not sure where, that Kubuntu didn't use pulse (which slipped my mind when setting up VLC).
So I make the mistake of removing everything which had pulse in it's name (again, via the graphic software manager). A message popped-up saying that some packages needed to be removed/edited (a LONG list, a big clue that I was doing something stupid I guess). I let it run it's course and after that it won't boot properly.
If I boot it normally it hangs at the Kubuntu screen with the five dots filling endlessly. If I press F1 it's stuck at "checking battery status."
Recovery mode boots, but the recovery option does nothing.
So I was wondering if I could boot into recovery mode and go into the terminal and add a live USB as a repository for apt, and try to salvage the install?
Or should I admit defeat and reinstall?

I have been looking into setting up a local repository for updates etc as we have an increasing number of fedora clients/servers.

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.
