Lots of rpms removed It looks like you thinned down the installation quite a bit. You still might be able to recover from this with a group install. Of course, you might just reinstall and unselect packages that you want to slim and pick the packages that you do want to install. This defeats your goal to speed up yum though. You probably will be better off running yum grouplist and picking the groups that you want. Then follow-up with the groupinstall option. Once yum grabs the packages, yum should only grab the latest packages and the updates will not be very large. (Usually)
