Hi !
I change the CentOS-Media.repo in etc/yum.repo.d because I want to install a program of flash memory.
I changed enable and baseurl fields :
enable = 0 to enable = 1 and baseurl = file:///media in CentOS-Media.repo
but when I write this cammand in media directory :
#yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c5-media install namesoftware

it show an error to me:
Error : cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:c5-media .please verify its path and try again

what is repomd.xml?
how can I solve this problem?
plz help me!

You have changed the baseurl target to a local directory in /media. This is either incorrect, or the required data that should be there isn't. Why did you do this? Changing enable = 0 to enable = 1 isn't the issue here.
