Seth V. has (justly) rebuked me for sending him a message directly and
not posting it to the list. Here is the message that provoked his
rebuke:
Thanks for your quick reply.
To clarify references, I am running FC4 with yum-2.4.0-0.fc4 .

This was, of course, the first thing I did. The word "ts" doesn't
appear anywhere in any of these man pages:
yum (8) - Yellowdog Updater Modified
yum [yum-shell] (8) - Yellowdog Updater Modified shell
yum-arch (8) - Creates yum distribution database
yum.conf [yum] (5) - Configuration file for yum(8)

The transaction command does appear in the yum-shell man.

Unfortunately, I still don't understand. What's a transaction? What
are "all of these"? What does it mean for a transaction to be loaded?
