Hi all, Just to say "About the speed" of yum, here is my story: Last week i just installed FC6 on a P3 550Mhz with 256MB of ram, for a "minimal home made" install it takes about 1 hour to solve dependecy before starting installing packages. The real install process take less than 30min. I don't think this is a normal behaviour. Lot's of people don't have the latest hardware with ultra high cpu frequency. I won't tell you how yum is unusable on a Pentium 233Mhz whereas apt-rpm works (within some seconds) like a charm. If you don't have a powerfull internet connection, you can simply forget about yum, whereas apt works like a charm from a bad internet connection (GSM/GPRS/PSTN). My configuration is largely sufficient for a basic desktop, or a tiny webserver, but not for fedora install/update tool. I think yum, which is the basic packet management system under fedora, must work on any configuration including older hardware (starting from pentium class systems). For so i think yum must be improved, to be faster and lighter or Fedora will become an elitist distribution for latest Top level hardware with hudge network connection. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
