Greetings ... I'm sure theses questions have been answer and I have to admit that I have not search around for these details, but while I had an example on my screen, I thought I would ask these questions ... I did ... [leet@clee-taylor-64 ~]$ sudo yum -y install qemu Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 dag 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 freshrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files updates-re: ################################################## 737/737 dag : ################################################## 2796/2796 base : ################################################## 2852/2852 freshrpms : ################################################## 464/464 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

My question is, if yum thinks that my download size is 2.3M, why did I only do 731kB download? While I did this install about three times, I noticed that it started downloading files on different sizes, I throught that maybe yum should only download an rpm that is the size of the stated rpm, but this confused me, when a download of only 731kB file ... Could somebody fill me in on what I am missing ... Thanks Mailed Lee
