I was making some more room on a machine. Did a large rpm -e, then noticed that /var was almost full. yum clean all then proceeded to download the headers for the packages I just deleted, then deleted all the headers it just downloaded... Maybe in the case of 'clean' yum should not download the headers just to delete them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Wildman, CISSP, RHCE jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.rossberry.com
