Is this perhaps only present if one updates from the other, presumably Gnome, Live CD? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

I've sat there watching flashing bars and a vague working out dependencies, and installing files titles, but no details about *what* is being installed. I've turned it off, and will carry on what I've done the last few years. Type "yum update" on a command line, and watch the proceedings. Not impressed with Fedora 9, so far. I can see this is going to be another release where standard advice is going to be - turn off the package kit updater, remove pulseaudio, etc. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Installing Fedora-9 from Live CD - silent update
I just installed F-9 on a ThinkPad T43 from the KDE Live CD. All went well, but after the installation I was told that there were some important updates to install. I agreed to the installation, but thereafter as far as I could see I was given no information about its progress. I saw from "top" that system-update was running, and I could see that there was some disk activity - but it was strange (to me) that I did not get the usual report on yum activity. If this normally occurs, it seems to me that it could cause problems, since someone might easily re-boot while the installation was only half-say through, leaving something of a mess. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
