(Just like all tools of similar nature) yum has a good potential of killing
your system when something unexpected happens. I have had yum kill a box at
least once after something like terminal session timeout or a ctrl-c.
Something to the effect of leaving two versions of each package with the
subsequent destruction of the system on the attempt to remove the
duplicates. I am sure it was my fault, of course.
The suggestion of running from screen is good, but even then something bad
could happen. But, in the event that it does, next time try
yum-complete-transaction from the yum-utils package.
I just don't use yum. I had a short moment of weakness some years ago (wanted a
new kernel or something), but I was quickly cured by the above mentioned event.
