How to make local repository on your hard disk on PCLinuxOS
If you have unlimited and fast internet connection, you could copy files in PCLOS’ repository into your local folder. If you want to copy those files, then you should copy them on right arrangement, what i mean was the arrangement that is similar to the original repository on the Internet.
You don’t have to install all folders, the most important is RPMS.extra, RPMS.kde, RPMS.main, RPMS.nonfree, RPMS.kde4, RPMS.sam and base.
For example you could copy all files into /mnt/installer/localRep
The next thing you have to do is specifying that path into /etc/apt/sources.list. Write the path on the top lines of the sources.list file. You could use gedit or vi to do this. The text you have to write is:
rpm file:/mnt/installer/localRep
If you don’t want to write it manually using text editor, you could use synaptic either.
