Mildly useful trick if you want to get packages installed from the DVD instead of fetching stuff off the mirrors right after you install FC9. By default the DVD is not listed on the available yum repos. Create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-dvd.repo with the following content,

[fedora-dvd]
name="Fedora 9 i386 DVD"
baseurl=file:///media/Fedora%209%20i386%20DVD

Note that the %20s are necessary for spaces. After a yum update, yum away to your heart’s content.

Just saw Suran’s blog being redirected to some shitty search site (gasp) and worked correctly a moment later. When I felt a weird feeling I never thought the next moment sheer evilness will be poured over my cerebral cortex. Should never smoke the green thing for any extended periods of time, I tell you.
