Of course. But DL of the ISOs will hardly be any faster.

I think there are several gui frontends for yum: yumex and pirut come
to mind. Also:
#yum-search "what you want to do"
is a good first step. Granted you might not always find anything, but
many times you will. I don't use the front-ends, but assume they have
some type of search functionality also.
Anyway, I hate getting sucked into these types of discussions. I just
wanted say that FC 5 discs vs XP 1 disc is not really a valid
comparison.
