You can use the yum download-only plugin, or you can enable a keep cache variable in your /etc/yum.repos.d/yourfile.repo. Don't remember the syntax off the top of my head. However a quick google search should turn them both up. Other option if you want to sync a repo you can check out an

Oh but keep in mind if you enable keep cache in your repo file it will still install them, just it will keep a copy as well. Keep that in mind. On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 11:42 AM, cliff here c4iff...@gmail.com wrote: You can use the yum download-only plugin, or you can enable a keep cache

I would highly advise against trying to time a CTRL-C in a specific amount of time. Not sure why you would even try and do that when, that's the exact purpose of the yum-download only which is easier to install and run then wait for a whole update to complete and try and manually kill the job.

forwarding rules that you have in prerouting should be in INPUT chain. You're trying to come in from an outside net to your FW and be forwarded to what you have NAT'd behind it right?
