[ILUG] yum '--print-uris' option?

[Conor Daly]

I'm working with a newbie who's on 56k dialup and has newly installed FC2.
Given that FC2's updater of choice is yum, we're using that.  Now, he's
trying to run 'yum update' but it wants to download the entire internet
and this is troubling him with his 56k bandwidth.  He has access to a
broadband connection so he could do with a list of urls to download.  I've
been using apt-get with RH9 and have an FC2 system as of two days ago so
I'm not up to speed with yum.  Anyway, I can run
'apt-get dist-upgrade --print-uris'
{a la apticron} and get a list to download later but I can't see a
corresponding option in yum.  I could munge
/var/cache/yum/base/header.info with /etc/yum.conf to construct a list but
I presume that would be the equivalent of 'download the contents of the
yum repository.  

Can anyone advise?  Or am I better off having him install apt-get and
using that?
