Answer 1

1.Downloadonly plugin for yum

Install the package including "downloadonly" plugin: Raw (RHEL5)

(RHEL6)

# yum install yum-plugin-downloadonly

2. Run yum command with "--downloadonly" option as follows:

   yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=directory package

3. Confirm the RPM files are available in the specified download directory.
