I have a bug report open regarding the PCMCIA card in my old laptop.  I'm

I've browsed the yum commands, but don't see any way to download the file
to this computer so that I can transfer it to the laptop.  Can yum do
this, or do I have to look for it some other way?
# yum install yum-utils
# yumdownloader <foo>

Hmm - problem. It's already installed on this box, so it tells me that there's nothing to download.

Does yum have it cached?

If you know where the package is, wget can fetch it for you. For directory listings, I like lynx.
