Interesting. So it should actually keep a cache of anything it
downloads.
if keepcache=0 then
nothing is kept (in simple terms)
else
kept forever.
Maybe I didn't notice that the second try at updating was
a little quicker.
For me I prefer the older default where all headers/packages are kept,
and you manually clean the cache with yum clean z.
So I set keepcache=1 in /etc/yum.conf
If you install a cpu/disk/network monitor like gkrellm, you can get a
good idea about when yum is mainly cpu, disk or network intensive.
Another conf item to look for is metadata_expire=1800 (by default). see
man yum.conf, /{search} ,metadata, n {ext}, to find out about it. To
save yum regetting the repo metadata on a repeated run that occurs after
the expire time, you can set the time a lot longer, eg a day; don't
forget to set it back to the default afterwards.
