You originally said you didn't want to download the same updates again, running "yum clean packages" will not force you to re-download anything later on. If it's in /var/cache/yum/foo/packages it's either a.) already installed and won't be downloaded again or b.) is old and not needed anymore and thus won't be downloaded again. If you want to keep them around for historical purposes, that's fine, but if your intent is to not re-download already installed updates, then "yum clean packages" is fine to use. Can you elaborate on why you want to keep them around? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to achieve. -- Chris "`The enemy we fight has no respect for human life or human rights.
