I have split your post away from the topic that you posted to which was over 4 years old and marked as solved. Please don't hijack old threads, start your own.

Just run yum update and part of the output tells you how much it will download.

Code: Select all

# yum update
...
Transaction Summary
============================================================

Upgrade      15 Package(s)

Total download size: 79 M
Is this ok [y/N]:
