I have run FC1/2/3 on systems like this with nothing but text mode
installed (e.g. no KDE, no GNOME, no X). I too ran into problems with
yum, but was able to reduce them by running
yum check-update
to find packages that need updating and then doing a
yum install <singlepackage>
for each of the packages returned by the check-update. I'm not sure
if that really makes sense and was helping or if it was just a
concidence that yum ran faster on those packages.
