If you don’t have one create as below,

[c5-media]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Media
baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/
file:///media/cdrom/
file:///media/cdrecorder/
enabled=0

Then mount your cdrom to either /media/CentOS/ | /media/cdrom/ | /media/cdrecorder/,

mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

So now your yum repository for centos5 is readyat /media/cdrom.

To install a package from the centos media repository created,

yum –disablerepo=\* –enablerepo=c5-media install <package name>

By default the repositry named c5-media here will be disabled as enabled=0 is given in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo. The above command will disable all other repositries and enable the c5-media alone.

Enjoy installing :)
