Be warned that these problems are likely to happen immediately as
packages from the FreshRPMS group (including ATrpms, Dag, Dries,...) of
repositories seem to often be mutually incompatible with
Fedora.US/Livna. The others you have added would only seem to increase
the probability of problems.
And for your sanity - to know what packages are orphaned - you can do:
yum list extras
Excellent! Using my new, small yum.conf, I get
flash-plugin i386 6.0.79-2 db gpg-pubkey None e42d547b-3960bdf1 db j2re i586 1.4.2-5.rhfc1.dag db k3b i686 1:0.11.9-1.xcyb db mplayerplug-in i386 2.45-fc1 db wine i386 0.20040321-1 db wine-devel i386 0.20040321-1 db winesetuptk i586 0-73 db
as extras--which is about what I expected, and quite manageable. I'll manually update with yum.conf.full when I hear of a vulnerability or important improvement to something on my extras-list.

Very nice yum mini-tutorial!

Agreed! What a great mailing list. Thanks to both of you.
