I update my FC3 system using apt. I love it, except that it leaves rpm
packages in my 'archives' folder after they've been installed (apt-get
upgrade/dist-upgrade). Is there some config setting to get them to
delete the packages automatically, instead?

ffs type apt-get --help it will tell you how to do it.

I found apt-get clean, which will remove the rpms on demand.

However, I'm (hoping) for an option where the rpms are automatically
deleted after the install successfully completes, without the extra
step of remembering to type in a separate command.

Yum works this way by default.

If there's no config option, I could just set cron to clean the cache
file by default, but, I wanted to check for the config option, first.
