Thanks!  Actually most of the systems where I really need this are
running
Centos 3.x (did I mention I didn't like bleeding edge surprises?) which
still has the old version of --downloadonly, but I'm trying to collect
the information I need so I won't have problems when they are updated
to something newer.  So, what I'm really looking for is where to find
this sort of thing if it is documented anywhere.
