I am running Ubuntu 10.10 as my OS. I also have an .iso file of OpenSuse. It has a lot of packages on it. Can I add it as local repository so that instead of downloading the files from net, if they are available on DVD then I can use them.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've copied a number of deb files from my ubuntu Natty dvd to /home/bob/Natty-DVD/pool. And I ran:
sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -c9 > Packages.gz
Which created the nesc. Packages.gz file. Then I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list and added the line:
deb file:///home/bob/Natty-DVD ./
and did a sudo apt-get update
But, the list of repos doesn't include my /home/bob/Natty-DVD. This is on a fresh install of natty.
The 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 freshly installed debian lenny using the 5 DVD set that I downloaded from debian.org.

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.

I have seven linux computers that I need to have access this repo server via apache.
I called Red Hat support and this what they told me to do....
On the YUM Repo Server -

>edit the httpd.conf file
> add in ServerAdmin root@10.24.79.195

Last week I successfully configured a local repository for CentOS. I did it because I'm teaching a course with this distro. I am also teaching another course with opensuse, sadly, I could not configure a local repository for opensuse. I thought this would be easier. Local internet connection is very slow, so I need to configure the local repository. I have searched for information on the novell site and find nothing.

I'll first do a minimal install using the network install iso on a usb stick, then reboot and complete the installation using a local caching repo (apt-cacher) on the LAN.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a thorough document that explains:
1) Creating a local repo
2) Using kickstart to access that repo
3) Performing a network install using kickstart
Some background: I have several racks of servers that I need to install Fedora on. These servers CANNOT be placed on the internet; hence the need for the creation of a local repo on some other machine (which will be connected to the servers via a local network). I am not sure how to create a local repo, so that one of my questions.
I'd also like to automate as much of the install as possible and kickstart is the only thing I know of for that. I am no guru with kickstart, but I have used it before to successfully install Fedora Core 6 -- I am hoping there are no great changes with the current releases of Fedora (12-14)?
A local repo of Fedora Core 6 was created by someone (some time ago) on a workstation (running FC6). This is what I've used in the past to install FC6 on previous servers (via a kickstart CD). However, I dont have the documentation on how the repo was created or how the kickstart CD was created I've gleaned some ideas ok kickstart from the pieces I've read on web, but none of it has been specific to the latest releases of Fedora.

I am preparing an installation for a network with small subnetworks across the country.As such, I am setting up a central repository, but would like the installation of some machines to turn themselves into mirrors at installation time (at least for their own rpms) to save bandwidth for the rest of the machines in their own sub network.Is it somehow possible to set up a local mirror at installation time?I was watching how anaconda is installing from a repository and saw that it erases each downloaded rpm as soon as it is installed, but thought maybe someone here would have an idea.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am installing a cluster which is hidden from the rest of the world and there is no router either froma general login node. I would therefore require a local repository of the updates to CentOS5.4. When I checked I only found instructions for a full mirror. As I have no room and neither the human resources to setup and maintain a full-blown mirror, this is not a solution. However if I try to find updates for 5.4 to download in a repository-type of way I fail to find a solution. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places.

There is this bug in the latest version of Ubuntu, which is also Jessie, which is:
Can't copy a file from SMB share to the local file system: Software caused connection abort
The problem, apparently, is that newer versions of Samba hit servers with multiple requests at the same time, and for some reason the Zyxel and Iomega boxes can't handle this. The best solution they've come up with is to modify the smb.conf file on your server to include this setting: "max mux = 1".
