[mythtv-users] yum upgrade "freezes" - can't continue

[Mike VanderPloeg]

Hi,

The same thing happened to me while following the
guide for FC4 (at the same point too, snmp). 
Unfortunately, I took the brute force approach and
re-installed.

When I got back to the point of doing the upgrade, I
first did a 'yum upgrade kernel' and a reboot.  This
will install the newest kernel.  Then I was sucessful
in using 'yum upgrade'.

The thing I don't like about yum is that it seems to
get its update packages from random servers. 
Sometimes I got 500kB/s, sometimes 100kB/s.  Very
frustrating, but maybe there is a way around it.
