1) Put your favourite RPM packages into directory /myrepo
2) Run yum-arch to generate header files: 
   $ yum-arch /myrepo
3) Add appropripate section to /etc/yum.conf

[mypkgs]
name=My Repository
baseurl=file:///myrepo

4) run one of this (read man yum to see what it do):
   $ yum -y update
   $ yum -y install name(s)-of-package(s)-from-my-repository
   $ yum list
