Gotcha.

The reason I ask is that I'm doing some experimental work on ways to
leverage open source software to bridge the digital divide (through both the
recycling of older hardware and the use of wireless broadband networking to
form community network cooperatives).  My recent success at integrating yum
into the enterprise network during my day job naturally leads me to want to
use it for my hobby projects.

The target system I'm building for is a Pentium 100MHz with 128M RAM and
1.2G hard drive (partly because I have a couple of these around, and partly
because this is a very obtainable configuration for someone looking for
super cheap or free hardware if you look around).

A stripped down box with 128M of RAM starts swapping quite a bit while
running "yum update" but I'll chalk this one up as a fact of life and merely
suggest letting yum run in the wee hours to avoid causing performance
problems.

Thanks,
