The yum cache is all about the headers, not the RPMs. You may be getting different mirrors each time, but even in that case, only the updates-released and maybe the extras repos would download anything; base should not download as it never changes. You might wish to choose a particular mirror and not use the mirrorlist in your yum.conf.d for this task. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
