Yum hangs
Dear All, Even if I am using redhat enterprise 5.5 but the problem I will talk about should be common to all linux. My yum hangs all the time and I followed some advises I found online but still does not work. all internet transactions in our university goes through a proxy and I added it in /etc/yum.conf and it seems it accepted it and also I entered a password. The proxy works from the browser but yum stil hanging. So any one had an experience with this problem? Thank you, rachid ayad

It should prove satisfactory for you. Alan. [1] http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM#head-ea1fc5d78f578114f4843e57627ebae9cc4fcb5a
Re: Yum hangs
Dear Alan, From the first look I already did all what is mentioned in the wiki page but did not work. The wiki information is also found online in others locations. I will try again probably I forgot something. I am busy right now but will let you know after I try it again. Thank you, rachid.
