Hi list, Using yum recently has been very frustrating. (Perhaps since I moved to fc4; perhaps since I had a rather nasty freeze trying to put my laptop to sleep - both about the same time and perhaps neither relavent.) Here's the output of the last update session I ran (much like others recently) and following a copy of my yum.conf file. I ran "retries=0", so it should just keep on trying? Any ideas would be realy appreciated. I'm on a modem, rrrrh!, and try to run yum overnight. Regards, Morgan. ######################## [root@morgansmachine ~]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
