You are right about that. It is not absolute minimal space. It is however the least I can figure out to use and should work in all but the most dire circumstances. If you don't have enough disk space to yum update one package (+ dependencies) at a time, you need to re-examine your partitioning scheme.<br><br>Dennis K<br></div></div></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Correo Yahoo!<br>Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis! <br>Regístrate ya - http://correo.yahoo.com.mx/ </body></html>
