a simple script that takes a long time but uses ABSOLUTE minimal space 

#! /bin/bash

yum -q check-update > /root/check-update
for i in `awk '{print $1}' < /root/check-update`
   do
   yum -y update $i
   yum clean all
done
rm /root/check-update

this checks for available updates and puts them into a file.
then it goes through that file one line at a time and installs that package along with it's dependencies
It cleans up after each install
then it removes the file it created
