For some reason I am having trouble with yum on one of my FC6 boxes. It
is an older, slower
machine, but I don't have any trouble browsing the web on it, but yum is
very very slow, and
when I try to update or install on it, I keep getting error messages
like the following.
# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Another data point. I had originally installed FC5 on this machine
because the FC6 installer was
having trouble with the onboard Matrox MGA G100 video card. I then did a
system upgrade to FC6
and the video problems seemed to be sorted out.
Both of my other FC6 boxes are working fine, and have no trouble with yum.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
