That is what I thought. I dunno who is responsible for YUM, but somewhat more apropos display messages might be in order.
To be more specific, I suppose that the reason that yum displays the "downloading headers" message is that this might take some time, and to reassure the user that something is happening. But as it turns out, on my machine, the download is not what is time consuming. Perhaps a separate message like "checking installed database for needed updates" preceeding that check might be helpful. I suspect that many other users will have the same results as I do. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
