'localyum' alias...
 

This alias should be a great default addition to the bashrc... as it
helps install packages to a CentOS system from the mounted install CD
before you get networking up and running...

alias localyum='yum --disablerepo=* localinstall'

Does Red Hat care about Requests for Enhancement? or is filing a bug pointless?

Since the latest version of yum obsolete (in Fedora at least so I
believe in CentOS it is/will be the same) the localinstall option, I
believe that using this alias is useless.

I have used yum's localinstall option on my CenOS 6.3 box... and it worked...

This option is kept for legacy purpose [1] (or man yum). It works yet
but will be removed in the future releases (years ago) I believe.

[1] http://linux.die.net/man/8/yum

Thanks. I wasn´t aware of this. Luckily if I read this correctly, the
ability to install packages from a local source won´tbe hampered, it
just won´t need the ´localinstall´ option...

But the removal of localinstall doesn´t mean an easy to remember alias
wouldn´t be of use, it´d just mean that the syntax would change to
alias localyum='yum --disablerepo=* ´

ie
localyum install /media/CentOS6/Packages/whatever.rpm
