Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) — Question 16

Which of the following commands can be used to download the RPM package kernel without installing it?

Answer options

• A. yum download --no-install kernel
• B. yumdownloader kernel
• C. rpm --download --package kernel
• D. rpmdownload kernel

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as 'yumdownloader kernel' is specifically designed to download RPM packages without installing them. Option A is incorrect because it uses a command that is not valid in this context. Option C is wrong since the 'rpm' command does not have a download option, and option D is not a recognized command for downloading RPM packages.
