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... yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2012-05-21.14-46.yuA8Tw.yumtx Take the yum_save_tx.2012-05-21.14-46.yuA8Tw.yumtx to the system with the fast connection and run... yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2012-05-21.14-41.O26_49.yumtx --downloadonly The files are saved in /var/cache/yum/i386/16/updates/packages (more or less) -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
