How does one update SL 7 using a mounted USB flash drive as the source 

of a repo, rather than using any external network?  There were 

instructions for doing this for EL pre-7 distributions, but I cannot 

find similar instructions for SL 7.  I have a USB flash drive with the 

current double-layer DVD SL7.5 install image (ISO) and that does work -- 

I just did a fresh install of SL7.5 using this media.



If anyone needs to post a URL, please send me email at [log in to unmask] 

until I can change my registered SL list email address.  My university 

(not "mine" anymore, as Faculty here have little meaningful shared 

governance on these sorts of matters at this time) inspects all network 

traffic and rewrites all URLs to point to the campus URL security 

server/service (similar to the great firewall of the PRC), making access 

difficult or impossible.  This includes any bibliographic citation with 

a URL thus making bibliographic references impossible.
