i used "yum upgrade" command on my fedora 5 to update my packages. After downloaded 420Mb of stuff, the system halt when it tried to updat the first package. I waited one hour and was sure it's not that it needed time. reboot, everything working fine with the old stuff. but where and how to get rid of those 420mb stuff?

    I'm not in a place where I can check right now, but have you looked in the/etc/yum.conf file to see if it's mentioned in there? I know that file will list repositories, but I don't remember what other information is in it.

    man yum helps :)

    yum clean should take care of items that build up in the cache overtime.

    Good answer darwinism. icon_cool.gif

    If you do a "man yum" and then go to the section "Clean Options" you should find what you're looking for.
