Hello to all listers.  I am trying to help a friend with a new fc install.
>From all of the man info, typing yum update, the packages will be updated at
least those that are installed on the system.  Wow it is taking a long time.
He is using x during this time, and I am locally logged in via my linux box
on ssh.  Any help is appreciated.  His cpu according to cpuinfo is some
thing like 1.2 and the rest I can't remember.  His cpu is an athalon xp
according to this friend.  1 gig of ram, not sure how much is free.
thanks
Eric

There are a lot of factors in play.
1. the band width of the machine receiving the rpms.
2. the band width of the yum repository you have connected to. 
3. the number of packages that need upgrading.
4. the fact that you are doing an upgrade and not an update.
5. the current load on the machine being upgraded.

So, why not cancel the job, and schedule it to run over night.

You can use cron to check and apply updates daily weekly monthely ... 
Al you need to do is put the command
Yum -y update
In a script and put into the cron directory of your choice.

The script would look like

#!/bin/bash
yum -y update

Nothing other then you can put the script in which ever cron directory
you want.
The chkconfig approach assumes that you want to have the update run
every day.
