Yes, it completed, thanks.

I have the following repos:

adobe-linux-i386.repo  _local.repo
CentOS-Base.repo        mirrors-rpmforge
CentOS-CR.repo    	mirrors-rpmforge-extras
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo   mirrors-rpmforge-testing
CentOS-Media.repo       rpmforge.repo
epel.repo      		rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
epel-testing.repo       rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo
google-chrome.repo      rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
			rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo

To avoid similar problems in the future, can you give me some guidelines
for priority settings?  It seems I got it wrong somewhere :-)  Thanks

Anne
