I must be doing something wrong.  Yumi built and installed without
problems, but when I run it, it just brings up a splash "Please wait...
Updating Yum cache" which never seems to complete.  Even leaving it to
run overnight, the next morning it was still there waiting to update the
yum cache.  Needless to say, nothing can be done with yumi until this
process completes.

What's the trick?  No errors are displayed the the xterm from which I launch yumi...
