yum by default deletes all the downloaded packages after installation

the path where it caches is /var/cache/yum/<repository name>/packages

packages might reside in diff dirs according to the repos downloaded
from.

1.you can look in this dir while the downloading is going on.
one solution would be to copy all the packages while the downloading
is complete
and the installation is running.But this has to be done very quickly

2.there's a plugin for yum called downloadonly .when specified yum
doesnot
delete the packages after installtion.

$yum install vlc --downloadonly

so the packages could then be copied from the cache dir later

3.other elegant soution would be to edit the conf file of yum
(beauty)
i.e. /etc/yum.conf and add a parameter as

keepcache=1

this would do the same as in sol 2 , without any extra arguments.

all the steps performed in Fedora 11

Thank you Abhijit. Fedora 11 is working OK for Internet. You arrange to install the Printer.

Secondly, Scanner driver for  "HP Scanjet G2410"  on UBUNTU has to be loaded. I have downloaded the driver for the scanner from Internet. You help me to load it on UBUNTU. You may consult with Rohit also in this regard.
