If you have 1000+ packages the dependency check can take a long time. How long did you wait? Try "linux text"? Also, check free disk space. You'll need at least 4 GB free for 1000+ packages. Don't forget to clean out the cached packages in /var/yum. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
