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.
