How to specify install folder for yum?
Hi, I'm super new to Linux, but I'm learning to appreciate it for its openness.
I'm using an Aigo p8860 running midinux, a distro based on Fedora.
I use yum and Fedora 7 repos to find and install all the applications I need, but there's one problem, the device has two solid state disks, each one is a partition of around 2GB. On the first partition the OS is installed and I have 100MB left right now, as the OS takes about 1900MB with all the basic applications installed.
On the second partition I have 2GB left.
The problem raises now, when I want to add more advanced applications they will be installed on the first partition by default, but there only 100MB are free!
Is there a way to specify to yum to install the application and related packages and dependencies to another folder, maybe in another partition?
Thanks!!!
