This is kind of an aside, but if yum is downloading packages, Ctrl+C
will not kill it. Instead, yum will switch to a different mirror to
download the packages from. This is handy if it happens to pick a
slow mirror. Just hit Ctrl+C and it will try another one (assuming
you have it set up to use multiple mirrors). This makes it a little
harder to kill, though, during this stage.

Well, it still can work - you just need to hit it several times in a row
- worked for me at least - just yesterday.
