Good info, further reading of the Man shows quite a lot of useful stuff for Yum, Anyway the good news is that today it worked fine, with 9 or so updates taken care of, the Email from the Cron Daemon showed one file was corrupt, a quick "rpm -Kv" on the downloaded packages found the corrupt file and all is well.
