Perhaps yum's memory footprint could be trimmed? If by then it's loaded hard-to-shed things (like python libs) perhaps it can exec a minimalistic "yum stage 2" that drives rpm? cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
