Local DVD Repository with CentOS

Question

I inserted the CentOS 6 dvd in my machine, mounted it with following command

mount /dev/cdrom /DVD

Then this command to create repo file

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/DVD.repo

And inserted these lines in that file:

[DVD]
name=DVD Packages
baseurl=file:///DVD
gpgcheck=0

Can anyone tell me where did I go wrong?

a [similar question](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/50465/how-to-create-local-repositories-in-rhel?rq=1) shows an "enabled=1" setting; does that help? — Jeff Schaller, May 09 '16 at 16:09

Edit your DVD.repo by adding enabled=1 like this:

[DVD]
name=DVD Packages
baseurl=file:///DVD
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

a minimal change to the OP's environment could reference their existing mountpoint of /DVD – Jeff Schaller May 09 '16 at 18:28
