> 2. why do you say it's downloading things over and over
again?
I say it because it happens. First time, it stopped with "Error:
xorg-x11-font-utils conflicts: xorg-x11-base-fonts<= 6.7.99.903-3" and
after I manually installed xorg-x11-font-utils yum -y update started to
download all the files from the beginning. I noticed this on a PC at home,
it was not a problem since bandwidth is plenty but I'm doing the same
thing on a machine at work where I have 512 kbps. I don't want to think
about dial-up users...
What files is it that you're seeing it redownload.
A LOT of people have been confused by the
####### progess bar.
that is ONLY Reading information in.
it is NOT downloading ANYTHING
the '====' progress bar is for downloads
'####' - not downloading, just reading.
