I'd like to comment on this list to say that despite earlier reports saying that I had fixed my YUM problems, it still freezes my computer every now and again. I've been told this might be because I have too little free space on my hard drive, so I cleared over 9 gigs, and it still freezes sometimes. I was told my RPM database was screwed, so I rebuilt the database and it still freezes. I'm not sure what the problem is now, but I do know that on the one hand YUM seems like a great idea, and when it does work, I think it's really cool. But something is not right with it, and I don't even have error messages which let me know what went wrong, so I can't say that I would recommend YUM. Dave
