Too late. On the other hand I launched the commands yesterday evening
and this morning it was reporting something like:
593 updates, 1.1 GB
Is is OK [y/N] ?
So I guess it is time to get familiar with yum at the command line.
Especially since it seems the nice kyum is gone and what replaces it is
crippled (not even a alphanumeric search function through the packages
and does not even sort them alphabetically - I guess a sort would take
too much CPU !)
Makes me think, kyum and kpdf. Is there a 'Bring Back Kpdf' petition
around ? I'd like to add my name to it. Heck, I could even donate. I
presume 'they' (KDE people) made such changes in the 4.x version that
every KDE-based app must be re-worked somehow to compile under the new
KDE/Qt kit. kpdf is quite nice. I've seen and used evince on a
'modern' laptop and it is not nice.
