I just didn't expect to be asked about that; I assumed it would just fail. The reason I use -y is often things run long enough that I want to start an update of my mirror and then do a yum update, but not have to stick around to answer normal questions. I haven't read the documentation for a while, so maybe there is already a safer way to do that, that I just don't know about. I'm making a note to do that and see if there are any new goodies I have missed. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
