If I had to just guess at what the compressed > size was that would be bad. That why I suggest to show how much yum is about to download in total. E.g. in this output: """ ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: compiz-fusion-extras x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 fedora 2.0 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 2.0 M Is this ok [y/N]: n """ just do - compiz-fusion-extras x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 fedora 2.0 M + compiz-fusion-extras x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 fedora 4.4 M because that where the info "size on disk" is IMHO way more important then the download size. In addition maybe do -Total download size: 2.0 M -Total download size: 2.0 M Total size on disk: 4.4 M This should make most people happy IMHO, because you get the amount yum is going to download and avoid this: # yum install compiz-fusion-extras [...] Installing: compiz-fusion-extras x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 fedora 2.0 M [...] # yum remove compiz-fusion-extras [...] Removing: compiz-fusion-extras x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc8 installed 4.4 M [...] CU knurd -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
