[NBLUG/talk] Fastest way to update Fedora/RH

[Todd Cary]

I decided that if I want to pass Mark Street's course, I had better head 
out and learn something about yum.  Still not completely sure of what I 
did, I modified yum.conf so that the mirror site at SF State was in the 
list and ran "yum update".

Wow!  I thought my CPU was going to burn up...my router lights stayed on 
continuously as 110 files were downloaded.  Never had that speed with 
Red Hat Network!

But I have a question that I have not been able to answer: is there a 
way to get the list of downloads and before yum downloads them, to edit 
the list?

Yumified,

Todd
