Instead of getting hysterical and trying (unsuccessfully) to insult me, you might have noticed that I mentioned both init 1 and init 3. The reason I wanted to confirm which init level you were really in is because I couldn't be sure that *you* knew the difference. I've seen, both here and at fedoraforum.org, enough posts from people who thought that a CLI was "single user mode" that I don't assume that an unknown poster really was in init 1 without checking. Now that we know that, the question becomes, "Why use single user mode for a yum update?" You could either have booted into text mode (init 3) or used Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a CLI after a normal boot, logged in as root and done the update there. Or, easiest of all, done a normal boot, logged in, started a terminal and used su.
