Homer, I use up2date and rather than yum, but I suspect your equivalent to /var/spool/up2date/ is full of stale rpm and hdr files. From time to time I clear out all those files before running up2date. Also, if you like to experiment with new kernels like I do, check /usr/src/ for old source trees. These two bits of housekeeping can free up a surprising amount of space on your root filesystem. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
