The only reason to reboot would be to load a new kernel. > ...is there a way to limit the bandwidth during the download > it seems the default is the max BW allowed.

This option can be expressed as a absolute data rate in bytes/sec. An SI prefix (k, M or G) may be appended to the bandwidth value (eg. '5.5k' is 5.5 kilobytes/sec, '2M' is 2 Megabytes/sec). Alternatively, this option can specify the percentage of total bandwidth to use (eg. '60%'). In this case the bandwidth option should be used to specify the maximum available bandwidth. Set to '0' to disable bandwidth throttling. This is the default. bandwidth Use to specify the maximum available network bandwidth in bytes/second. Used with the throttle option (above). If throttle is a percentage and bandwidth is '0' then bandwidth throttling will be disabled. If throttle is expressed as a data rate (bytes/sec) then this option is ignored. Default is '0' (no bandwidth throttling). ------------------------------------------------------------ So you would need to set bandwidth and throttle. these parameters are not in yum.conf, just add them to the end of the parameter list in /etc/yum.conf -- Gerald Waugh Front Street Networks - RaQware 4604 Fern Ave Shreveport, LA 71105 PH: +1 318-734-4779 CL: +1 318-401-0428 _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
