yum downloading its indexes all the time is a major PITA
by Fernando Cassia
Isn' t there a way to config yum to only download its repo indexes only
once a dar and not every single bloody time I invoke yum for something else
other than install? (ie I call Yum whatprovides something and get
$ yum whatprovides vlc

Install failed after packages installed - no f17 on grub
by William Henry
To understand what happened see my email regarding the JBoss failure. It all started there.
Basically because of that failure I tried to force the JBoss-as package install under f16 kernel boot 3/4 ways through the f17 install. After successfully installing all the rest of the packages using f17 installer process, the install failed due to the rpmdb changing underneath. That was me forcing the JBoss-as installation I guess. So after the installed exited. Reboot shows no beefy miracle in the grub list.
So now it's no longer the offending JBoss-as package it's more a how do I recover from this failure at this point. Or if I can't should I just install f17 from scratch and hope my /home backup will recover nicely into f17.
