man yum.conf

       keepcache
              Either ‘1’ or ‘0’. Determines whether or not yum keeps the
cache
              of  headers  and packages after successful installation.
Default
              is ’1’ (keep files)

Then in /etc/yum.conf for fc5 keepcache=0

I thought, but I can't find the note, that this was mentioned in the
release notes.
