If you used a DVD image for installation, there is a repodata directory 
on the installation DVD. Since there is no way that I know to predict 
what the name the mountpoint will be called, I added 
<directory-your-DVD-is-mounted-as> as a variable for the mountpoint.

You need to disable your Internet bound repo files and add a filed 
called local.repo (The name really does not matter, it just makes it 
easy to locate and know from the filename what its purpose is)
Change enabled=1 to enabled=0 in the fedora-core.repo and the 
fedora-extras.repo files.

Add below to a file suffixed with repo and place it in the 
/etc/yum.repos.d directory.

[Local-Install]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=file:///media/<directory-your-DVD-is-mounted-as>
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora 
file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY
