What it wants is to download 1.7 Gbytes of stuff. I don't have that much

You've left out quite a few details if a 1.7 GB problem requires a 320
GB solution.
See below, I need to buy a new drive and clone and retire the existing
drive. There's no space for a new drive.
Well, another solution is "delete 1.7 GB of data". You could for
example remove -devel packages (and definately debuginfo if you have
any):
yum remove \*-devel \*-debuginfo
And if my -devel packages are essential?
and if that doesn't give enough space, consider temporarily removing
some applications to free up enough space to do the update, then put
them back after, e.g.:
yum groupremove 'Office/Productivity'
Check for huge logfiles in /var/log and delete or compress old ones,
etc.
My space vanishes in chunks of several gigabytes; it's chock fill of
(not very functional) virtual computers.
I'm well-practiced at recovering space; if I need to resort to those
measures, a new disk drive is cheaper.
The first step in recovering wasted space is to find where it's used.
Deleting installed software isn't going to recover anything like 1.7
Gbytes (it's about all of the installed software).
