I think the "confusion" goes something like this: yum --download-only install foo yum then says [install: foo 1.4.2-i386] Is this ok [y/N]: And the user says "hey, I just told you I don't want you to install it. I just want you to download it." The reason for this is that the questions are asked BEFORE downloading so you can see what will be done without wasting a bunch of time. This check is still valuable (to at least some people) when in --download-only mode. -Michael -- Michael D.
