Ah yes, I've done that too.  Though you do need to have an internet
connection working at the time to use that approach.

Now that I'm on FC4, and up2date doesn't work properly with it, I keep
forgetting about up2date tricks.  That was one thing I liked about
up2date (it using what it had, instead of downloading it again,
regardless).  I haven't got YUM to play the same trick.
