That's a shame. I have the equivalent to '-d 3' in yum.conf since you 
mentioned it last time, and the output wasn't that great. It's gone 
though, I can't find it in any of my "xterms."

There are no updates pending at present, but I guess that when there 
are, I should precede the update with "yum clean <something>."  Is there 
anything better than "all" from your POV?

I did note that rpm took a long time to install a kernel the other day; 
I've favoured using yumdownloader to get the latest kernel, then rpm to 
install it.

When I wondered what it was up to, it was running mkinitrd, but there's 
nothing to say that it hadn't just got there.
