For interst I'll just post the last part of the update: Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Updating: glib2 100 % done 1/38 Updating: popt 100 % done 2/38 Updating: libpng 100 % done 3/38 Updating: gtk2 100 % done 4/38 Updating: hal 100 % done 5/38 Updating: system-config-securitylevel-tui 100 % done 6/38 Updating: Omni 100 % done 7/38 Updating: shadow-utils 100 % done 8/38 Updating: hal-cups-utils 100 % done 9/38 Updating: firefox 100 % done 10/38 warning: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources created as /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.rpmnew warning: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo created as /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew warning: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo created as /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo.rpmnew Updating: fedora-release 100 % done 11/38 Updating: nfs-utils 100 % done 12/38 Updating: comps 100 % done 13/38 Updating: gedit 100 % done 14/38 Updating: gpdf 100 % done 15/38 Updating: system-config-securitylevel 100 % done 16/38 Updating: Omni-foomatic 100 % done 17/38 Updating: rhgb 100 % done 18/38 Updating: xscreensaver 100 % done 19/38 Completing update for hal-cups-utils - 20/38 Completing update for firefox - 21/38 Completing update for fedora-release - 22/38 Completing update for shadow-utils - 23/38 Completing update for nfs-utils - 24/38 Completing update for libpng - 25/38 Completing update for comps - 26/38 Completing update for gedit - 27/38 Completing update for gpdf - 28/38 Completing update for system-config-securitylevel - 29/38 Completing update for system-config-securitylevel-tui - 30/38 Completing update for glib2 - 31/38 Completing update for Omni - 32/38 Completing update for popt - 33/38 Completing update for Omni-foomatic - 34/38 Completing update for hal - 35/38 Completing update for rhgb - 36/38 Completing update for gtk2 - 37/38 Completing update for xscreensaver - 38/38 Updated: Omni.i386 0:0.9.2-1.1 Omni-foomatic.i386 0:0.9.2-1.1 comps.i386 1:3-0.20041103 fedora-release.i386 0:3-8 firefox.i386 0:1.0-2.fc3 gedit.i386 1:2.8.1-2.fc3 glib2.i386 0:2.4.8-1.fc3 gpdf.i386 0:2.8.0-8 gtk2.i386 0:2.4.14-1.fc3 hal.i386 0:0.4.2-1.FC3 hal-cups-utils.i386 0:0.5.2-8 libpng.i386 2:1.2.8-1.fc3 nfs-utils.i386 0:1.0.6-44 popt.i386 0:1.9.1-21 rhgb.i386 0:0.16.1-1.FC3 shadow-utils.i386 2:4.0.3-56 system-config-securitylevel.i386 0:1.4.18-2 system-config-securitylevel-tui.i386 0:1.4.18-2 xscreensaver.i386 1:4.18-4 Complete!
