Not much - if it's OOM'ing the only real option is: 1. get more memory 2. have it use less memory if you want to pursue 2 that's fine - but to be very clear - everything after: Running RPM Transaction Test is in rpm-land as to trimming out memory/cpu usage. There's very little yum can do there. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
