OK. My first attempt to install F10 on my Asus Eee has failed with not
enough disk space. Does not supprise me, given all the crude of rpms

However, I also have a 4Gb SD card installed. What directory to I map
to a partition on the SD card so that all the rpms go there?
I would run "yum clean all", and then copy the directory structure
to your SD card. Then mount the SD card partition at /var/cache/yum.
Thanks, but I can't work it QUITE that way, the install failed. So
there is nothing to clean. I need to map /var/cache/yum with Disk
Druid as part of the install.
Well I gave /var/cache/yum 2Gb and did not include Open Office in the
install, and still ran out of disk space. This time I will give it the
whole 3.8Gb on the SD card, but I wonder if it is really using the SD
card. I think I will try and mount it first on another system and see
what is there.....
Then after install and updates how do I set this back to just work off
the main drive?
Run "yum clean all" again, and remove the SD card mount.
OK.
I have set up a 1Gb swap partition and a 2.8Gb ext3 partition for / on
the main SSD drive. Trying to keep the overhead to the lowest, not
using LVM...
So where do all the rpms go? /var/<what>???
/var/cache/yum/<repo>/packages
The yum clean all is probably not strictly necessary, but it should
help avoid any stale information when switching between storage
locations. It will also give you a bit more room on the main drive.
