KPackageKit is clearing the cache

KPackageKit is the default package manager front end on Fedora 11. Its back end is Yum. After installation when I checked /var/cache/yum there was nothing saved.
There is one file /etc/yum.conf
In that file there a line keepcache=
It was initially 0, means do not keep the cache rpm files.
I set it 1. Now I got the rpm files after installation. This is required to install packages that don’t have internet connection. also avoid re-download in case of re installation. Save the cache is some other media.
