Anyway, an aspect of yum which may be helpful to look at is that when used with presto, it never tells you how much it is going to really download. What I mean is that it says Total download size: 110 M (say), but that amount is not accounting for presto which will reduce the haul to much less. I think that it would be more helpful to have a(nother) note saying how much it will download. What good is it to have a note after the event that says that presto reduced the download to 6% or whatever. Makes it look like department store receipts that nowadays suggest that you "saved" xx% on a sale item....
