I have a friend using Fedora 15 and I have asked her keep the system updated, but she has fallen behind and now has 300+MB to download (not counting presto if it helps). *I have searched for a method which would allow me to download them on a faster net connection, but I haven't found something simple*similar*to what we used with Debian/Ubuntu. *apt-zip creates a script and once I run the script with the faster net connection it wget's all the files, or I can get a list of URI's with apt-get dselect-update --print-uris. *
I would like to get the system updated before we need to upgrade the machine to Fedora 17, ie. yum update --print-uris would help. *Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chuck

You can try this.....
On both systems install yum-plugin-downloadonly.
Then on the dialup system run....
yum update
When asked if this is OK, say No. Should then get a line that reads something
similar to...
The files are saved in /var/cache/yum/i386/16/updates/packages (more or less)

You can also say where to download the files:
yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2012-05-21.14-41.O26_49.yumtx
--downloadonly --downloaddir=/where_you/want_to/save_the_files

I tried and it didn't work.
[cp@fedora tmp]$ sudo yum load-transaction
/tmp/yum_save_tx-2012-05-21-21-54cbd9xI.yumtx --downloadonly
[sudo] password for cp:
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: rpmdb ver mismatched saved transaction version, aborting.
Perhaps it is because my friend is running Fedora 15 and I have Fedora 16.
Hopefully it will work once we both upgrade to Fedora 17 in the near future.
My earlier comment about needing 300MB of updates was clearly off. I am
updating her nvidia right now Total download size: 23 M and the updates I
just finished were over 600MB.
Thanks,
Chuck
