This is a continuation of the thread: "yum update fails: CentOS 5.2".
I installed a fresh Centos 5.2 and ran yum update.
It ran correctly, except for these issues:
1. As previously mentioned, after deciding what it is going to do, It doesn't ask if its ok. But if I type y<enter> it reports: Is this ok [y/N]: Downloading Packages:
2. During the long period it is downloading files, it doesn't print anything, giving the impression that nothing is happening. Watching the lights, and using WireShark and ARIN, I determined that it was downloading from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I decided that was good. During the install phase, the expected logging appeared.
3. When it said it was finished, it didn't exit the yum process; I did it with CRTL-C .
Mike.
