If all the rpms are already download (Eg. via. a previous --downloadonly operation) then, yeh this should work fine. If you do the above when you've only downloaded half of the rpms, then yum will fail on the first rpm it finds that it can't download (because you told it not to). There is currently no option to say "try and update using just the rpms that are already downloaded". With depsolving this is non-trivial. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
