Once yum is basically working you might be able to yum install yum-utils and yum-complete-transaction to pick up where you left off. I had to do this on one box where the update process kicked me off and died with a bunch of duplicate packages still in the rpm database.
me too...punished for not using screen to update.
I sort-of expected yum to be smart enough to trap sighup's during transactions. And I think the connection broke because the process underneath died - so screen would probably have croaked too.
yum-complete-transaction actually required a leap of faith because there were hundreds of packages it wanted to remove ;-)
Same here... I did do a sanity check with rpm -q package for some of them to see that two versions were actually there (or rpm thought there were).
