Hmmm ... I do it all the time, every day or two, on five or six boxes behind one router & KVM switch. I run "yum clean all," "updatedb," "rpm --rebuilddb," and then "yum update" whenever the previous update got something; otherwise I just keep repeating "yum update." I get the sequence started on one machine, then KVM-switch to the next and the next, till all have either completed or reported nothing to do. It's quite common for "yum update" to be running simultaneously on two -- or several. (I know I don't need the updatedb and rebuilddb that often; but it's a way of remembering not to leave them undone for months at a time.) Maybe I've had troubles I should've recognized as stemming from that? Can I tell?? Or are you concerned only about them slowing one another down? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
