As the numbers of installed kernels grows on your system, it takes yum longer (and longer) to complete dependency transactions, especially those involving the kernel. I once had 7 kernels installed at the same time, and it took forever (it seemed) to install anything, or even to remove anything. As I started to remove old kernels, things started to improve. So, manage your kernels wisely. -- Kevin J. Cummings kjchome@xxxxxxx cummings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cummings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Registered Linux User #1232 (http://counter.li.org)
