Sure, but the question remains.. why isn't it delivered to the user in a working order?
That is, why did you need to make that change yourself?   Why is it that yum needs all
these little user interventions so often?  Why are the error messages it produces so
hideous?  Is yum honestly solid enough to make it the foundation of the installer?
If nobody else is thinking the same thing i'll just shut up and deal with it; perhaps
i'm the only one fed up with yum.
