OK. My first attempt to install F10 on my Asus Eee has failed with not

However, I also have a 4Gb SD card installed. What directory to I map
to a partition on the SD card so that all the rpms go there?

I would run "yum clean all", and then copy the directory structure
to your SD card. Then mount the SD card partition at /var/cache/yum.

Thanks, but I can't work it QUITE that way, the install failed. So there is nothing to clean. I need to map /var/cache/yum with Disk Druid as part of the install.
Then after install and updates how do I set this back to just work off
the main drive?

Run "yum clean all" again, and remove the SD card mount.

OK.

I have set up a 1Gb swap partition and a 2.8Gb ext3 partition for / on
the main SSD drive. Trying to keep the overhead to the lowest, not
using LVM...

So where do all the rpms go? /var/<what>???


/var/cache/yum/<repo>/packages

The yum clean all is probably not strictly necessary, but it should
help avoid any stale information when switching between storage
locations. It will also give you a bit more room on the main drive.
