So far my > google-fu has been lacking.... The usual way I do this on F-13 is: yum install mypkg --instalroot=/tmp/test-install-mypkg --release=13 ...that'll give you the list of packages and the size (according to the rpms) they'll take when installed. You can even run the command to get the exact installed size. -- James Antill - james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.28 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumBenchmarks http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumHistory _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
