Roughly 26 Mb if rpmfusion is included.

This is very good news, thank you. In the mean time my locals seem to be 
happy with nothing but Yumex checking for updates. This means a lot of 
them don't do updates very often but at least if they decide to they can 
start it running before they go to bed at night.
