It appeared to me that the default cache retention behavior changed with FC5 (from FC4) and that you can turn retention back on by changing the /etc/yum.conf file. I ran into some dependency issues and sure enough, the next time I ran yum all the previous downloads were gone. I changed it to retain cache files and things worked as before. I don't have my FC5 system in front of me so I can't provide the exact config line that needs changing. Cheers, Greg.
