Sorry to have posted the original email!

Thank you

I'm getting different results from "yum list updates" when I do it as user vs root:

Can someone explain why is this happening?
Also, does anyone know if akmod-nvidia be updated for the 2.6.34.9-69.fc13 kernel before Fedora 13 EOL on 24th June?
Thank you

Generally you probably shouldn't run yum as a non-root (or admin) user. My experience is that non root users can't update the meta-data so it downloads it every time. If I'm just trying to list/search something then sometimes I use my normal login but I always run it with -C so it doesn't try to update the meta data.
