Hi folks,
Can anyone point me to a sensible way to find out the total size of the updates applicable to my system? I have installed Fedora Core Test 2, registered with RHN, subscribed to the updates channel, and found all of the relevant packages (138 in all), but i'd really like to know how big they are before i download and apply them...

Run up2date and select all packages, it will tell you the total download size.

gui or commandline? gui should show the package size info if it's available.
commandline doesn't atm, though thats more or less planned at some point (at very least, a "summary" printed out before it starts downloading)

RHN web site and command line was where i was looking. Didn't think to try the GUI - thanks.
