Since you aren't already running rawhide on the > box, I gather that this really isn't what you want! You can use the devel yum on FC3. The steps: 1. Enable FC3 extras in your yum repositories. 2. Run "yum install sqlite" 3. Get yum and urlgrabber SRPMs from rawhide 4. Rebuild 5. Install both 6. Enjoy speedy yum Note that it's slower than it used to be on initial metadata import, since it has to insert a whole bunch of data into an sqlite database, but then it flies. No more pickling/unpickling -- it's all instantly there. (One thing you may want to do is get rid of mirrorlists in your fedora-updates.repo, since they can be out of sync and cause metadata parsing each time. Pick a mirror and stick to it.)
