Add/Remove software error

If you do that with the base-repo and keep the updates-repo intact, wouldn't it install the basefiles from cd/dvd and the updates from internet?

Pirut and pup use internet yum repos by default. You can add a file 
/etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo with the baseurl of your DVD/CD drive, and 
disable the rest (enabled=0), if you really want to install stuff from 
there.
