Hi all,

I'm running f14-x86_64 but have a need for a f14.i686 kernel package
(kernel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686). I'd also like to unpack it but not into
its default locations.

That leaves me with two questions:

How do I download it without installing it?
How do I unpack it into a safe location (such as /test)?

Been fiddling with yum and had no luck.

yum --downloadonly

And set the flag in yum.conf to keep things in the cache after use. Don't forget
to manually clear the cache occasionally (yum clean packages).


TIA,
Mike Wright
