Okay, I have over 9 gigs of spare room on my main hard drive, so I don't think var is filling up. I've set prelinking to be off (I think), and yet still, YUM continues to freeze my computer.
If I try to do a search or install, about half the time it will go nuts on the hard drive, I lose control of the mouse, and eventually I have no choice but to hard reset.
What's wrong with YUM?
