The parameter is called keepcache not keepinstalled, and that seems to be how it behaves, despite what it says about it the yum.conf man page: keepcache Either ʽ1ʼ or ʽ0ʼ. Determines whether or not yum keeps the cache of headers and packages after succesful installation. Default is ʼ1ʼ (keep files) I've observed it to dump files its cached for the next run, so they need re-downloading, even if they weren't installed. NB: Although the default for YUM may be "1" (keep files), the default preset in the yum.conf file is "0" (don't keep files). -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6.)
