This sounds like a lack of memory. rpm runs out of memory, and yum does mysterious things instead of reporting the problem. You've already tried a non-GUI installation, good. Also try an NFS installation and a minimal installation. You can alway add more later. Also, enable swap as early in the process as possible. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
