For a variety of reasons, I've written an article on yum that might serve as an introduction. It is NOT a manual, NOT a HOWTO. It's a bit long (but fairly complete). People who were looking for relatively simple non-man-page non-HOWTO documentation are encouraged to give it a look, and it is of course open for comments and corrections as well. It has lots of examples (and more are welcomed). The last couple of sections will likely be cloned into the HOWTO soon as well, finishing it off. Note the OPL. You can copy and use it as you wish, as long as you don't resell it for a profit without dickering with me first. See: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_article/yum_article/ rgb Robert G.
