So far I have spent a couple days (that's _days_) on getting
yum update completed. I got a round a few stalls by reloading the
command. Then today I left the machine on while iwent to a meeting
for a 3 or 4 hours. When I got back yum update was still chugging away
and not copmplete yet.
Q: Will the installed updates work ok if I never get the
update completed?
Q: As I understand it, yum is used as the command to install
regular rpms.
Please give some examples of using yum with the extensions given
on the man page.
I am using Fedora Core 2, which I understand is prolly not the
best choice for a noob, but until such time as I get high speed
and can d/l an OS inside a day I'm stuck with this version from
the book by Chris Negus that I got on library loan.
Other refs are books and a listserv run by Marcel Gagne.
