Dear all,
I'm using a slow internet connection. While searching or installing packages, yum often updates its package list. Could you please tell me how to stop this?
It's better to have an updated list, but updating in a slow connection is pain :)
Thanks, Ershad K

Look at /etc/yum.conf. The value metadata_expire is used to control this and extensively documented in the file itself. Also note that yum -C search quake for example would force yum to run from cache.

While these are obviously documented elsewhere appropriately, is it a good idea to read the list for such questions and maintain a page on the wiki ? This should also help us figure out how smaller things are important in enhanced user experience.
