This can lead to a critical situation. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try doing it as you show below. However, I installed using the "personal workstation" option then I weeded through the package list, reducing it still further, because I had only a 4 gig partition, and needed only a few apps (mainly k3b and gnucash). Still, yum spews a loooooong list of headers it wants before it hangs. While I haven't previously used FC to any large extent, I have installed RHEL3, RHEL4, and TaoLinux several times and always just done a bulk update of each system, to update the whole thing in one fell swoop, and have never had this kind of problem before. > When I've made a similar job I've used this approach: > 1- yum update yum > this is the first thing to be sure yum is correct > 2- yum update kernel* > just to download the latest kernel > 3- yum update xorg* > the x11 part > 4- yum update gnome* kde* > 5- yum update gcc* > 6- reboot > to use the new kernel/xorg etc > 7- yum check-update | tee myup2date | wc > to have a list of package to be updated > 8- vim myup2date > see how many packages you have to upgrade and try to update group of > them (yum > update pref* as per yum update mysql* or yum update ooffice*) > > Be carefull to update for limited batch of packages; if you are updating an > x86_64 mach, many package come in the double arch i386 and x86_64.
