I've mounted my DVD ISO and can access the readme at 
http://rhel.demo.lan/ScientificLinux/5.0/i386/os/README

The instructions for setting up the install tree (just above INSTALL) 
were correct for previous releases, but are now probably wrong: one does 
not merge repos that way!.

However, for DVD images the error does not matter. I have set up my 
install tree by "mount -o loop," equivalent to copying the image as 
described in that readme.

When I try to "yum install" from the tree, this is what happens:

10:02 [summer@numbat ~]$ sudo yum install libnjb-devel libmtp-devel 
libid3tag-devel

Trying other mirror.
Error: failed to retrieve libid3tag-devel-0.15.1b-3.sl.i386.rpm from sl-base
error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>

On looking at the file SL/repodata/primary.xml.gz

I see ="media://1178298547.683145" 
href="libid3tag-devel-0.15.1b-3.sl.i386.rpm"/><format><rpm:license>GPL</rpm:license><rpm:vendor>Scientific

I'm using this repo definition:
10:12 [summer@numbat ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/install.repo
[sl-base]
name=SL 5 base
#aseurl=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/$basearch/SL

What might be wrong, and how do I fix it?
