where does fedora package manager saves packages while downloading?

Hi,


can anyone tell me where does fedora package manager saves packages while downloading?

Thanks

Have a look in /var/cache/yum/ while "package manager" is busy downloading packages. Yum cleans up these .rpm packages after it has installed them. I think there is an option to keep these .rpm files - keepcache=1 ( or something ). I haven't yet tried it myself.

e.g. /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ will start filling up with .rpm files while packages from the fedora-updates repository are being downloaded.

Wow thanks for that...

ya keeping cache would be a nice option,as a download may need many dependencies...and all those would be available at a single location...so if that gets saved in a folder,we can install a rpm with the dependencies at one go without internet...offline installation..?? Can this be really done?

Thanks again.
