Hi all!! I would like to know if yum has (or you plan to add) an option to just download the needed RPM, but not install them (similar to apt-get -d). This is a very usefull feature in some scenarios. Imagine you have to upgrade the distro in a server with a slow link. You would have to download several MB and it would take a couple hours. You could leave it running all night, but then you'll miss the upgrade process and probably important error messages. If we have a "just download" option, we run yum with that option at night. When we come to work the next day, we have all the needed packages in the local cache and can upgrade the system. Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I've only seen this question once, and nobody answered it...
