I've just found FedoraLegacy; this is great. I have a batch of RH 9 systems that badly need updating, and have already started working with 'yum' to get them done. One system, however, has hung while installing 'yum' itself per the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/Yum9Detailed The hang was indefinite; I left it sit all night and shell prompt never returned. Process listing shows 'rpm' still running, even after logging off the terminal; ctrl-c does not kill the process either. Only 'kill -9' will end it. In looking into this, I see all 'rpm' commands (even simple queries) hang in the same way. Man page doesn't mention it, but is there a lockfile somewhere that's holding things up? Or something else?
