I went to ctrl-alt-F2, and logged in. No yum process anymore, so I rebooted. The GDM greeter showed up, but loging in hung the machine. Rebooted into runlevel 3, had to "package-cleanup --cleandupes" before restarting "yum update", then the update went through. Will have to see if graphical login works now, currently in a Gnome session started by startx. </blockquote><div> The flashing window and firefox death happen pretty consistently when fonts are updated. darrell </div></div>
