I wish I'd been that prescient.

As mentioned, when I came back after the offending
command had finished, all I could see in all terminal consoles

have saved it to file via "screen" (as long it was still within
the 30k scrollback), I didn't think to do that.

I think yum-fastestmirror was installed.
