Good info, further reading of the Man shows quite a lot of useful stuff for 
Yum, 

Anyway the good news is that today it worked fine, with 9 or so updates 
taken care of, the Email from the Cron Daemon showed one file was corrupt, 
a quick "rpm -Kv" on the downloaded packages found the corrupt file and all 
is well.

Thanks again,

Colin
