Well, first time you run it for each new site added to yum.conf (including the default one that's already included) it will download a ton of header files, which are not big, but are many. :-) 2rd time and next, it will only download new headers, which are much fewer. It will usually download/install a lot of packages first time you run "yum update". > BTW, is there a reason for the spurning of alsaplayer? It's a fine player, but XMMS is more capable. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
