本人在使用yum安装软件的时候，感觉最不爽的是网络不佳时，安装的速度特别慢。所以，个人就上网search了一下如何使用Linux的安装文件作为其yum源。经过几次尝试，已经可以成功的配置了。下面是详细的介绍：
（1）个人的使用环境
本人的CentOS是安装在vmware上的：VMware workstation 7.1.1 + CentOS 5.5
（2）yum使用的相关文件介绍
CentOS使用的yum源是在/etc/yum.repos.d/目录下的两个文件中进行配置的CentOS-Base.repo和CentOS-Media.repo，其中，CentOS-Base.repo是配置网络yum源，CentOS-Media.repo是配置本地yum源。
[[email protected] ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[[email protected] yum.repos.d]# ll
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2245 Apr 26 2010 CentOS-Base.repo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 626 Apr 26 2010 CentOS-Media.repo
我们可以看看CentOS-Media.repo中的内容：
[[email protected] yum.repos.d]# more CentOS-Media.repo
# CentOS-Media.repo
#
# This repo is used to mount the default locations for a CDROM / DVD on
# CentOS-5. You can use this repo and yum to install items directly off the
# DVD ISO that we release.
#
# To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too:
# yum --enablerepo=c5-media [command]
#
# or for ONLY the media repo, do this:
#
# yum --disablerepo=/* --enablerepo=c5-media [command]
[c5-media]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/
file:///media/cdrom/
file:///media/cdrecorder/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
其中，baseurl是本地yum源的位置，当然，根据我们iso的配置位置，这里是可以进行修改的。不过，我只是将iso文件挂载到/media/CentOS/目录，所以，我也没有做修改。
（3）挂载iso文件
本人的iso文件是在宿主机上，所以，通过vmware的文件共享，将宿主机上的iso文件挂载到/mnt/hgfs/目录下：
VM->Settings->Options选项卡->Shared Folders->Set Folder sharing as ‘Always enabled‘
使用Add button选取本地iso文件的目录，我的CentOS放在D:/Software/os/目录下，所以，添加后的截图如下：
点击‘OK‘，完成共享。
在CentOS中，我们可以在/mnt/hgfs/目录下发现一个os/子目录，CentOS的iso文件也就在该目录下，本人共享以后，iso文件在CentOS的路径为：/mnt/hgfs/os/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso
将该镜像文件挂载到/media/CentOS/
[[email protected] yum.repos.d]# mount -o loop /mnt/hgfs/os/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso /media/CentOS/
（4）使用本地yum源安装软件
使用本地yum源的方法在CentOS-Media.repo中已经描述了：
（4.1）除了使用本地yum源，也会是使用其他的yum源
yum --enablerepo=c5-media [command]
（4.2）只是用本地yum源
yum --disablerepo=/* --enablerepo=c5-media [command]
下面是用本地yum源安装mysql
[[email protected] yum.repos.d]# yum --disablerepo=/* --enablerepo=c5-media install mysql-server

速度很快，要比使用网络yum源安装快多了！
