Well, I have come further but am not finished.

I got Errors during:
....
Getting squid-2.5.STABLE7-1.FC2.1.i386.rpm
squid-2.5.STABLE7-1.FC2.1 100% |=========================| 1.1 MB    00:01
Running test transaction:
Errors reported doing trial run
file /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/resource/abp64501.res from install of
openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.4.fc2 conflicts with file from package

openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.4.fc2 conflicts with file from package
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.1-4
......
And so forth for a huge number of OO files.

# rpm -qa | grep ^openoffice
results in:

openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.1-4
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-11.4.fc2
openoffice.org-libs-1.1.1-4
openoffice.org-1.1.1-4

I removed the 1.1.2 package by:

# rpm -e openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-11.4.fc2

and ran yum update again and it downloaded the needed headers:
openoffice.org-i18n-0-1.1  100% |===============================| 138 kB
00:00
Resolving dependencies
Dependencies resolved
......
It dowloads openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-11.4.fc2.i386.rpm
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2  100% |===============================| 111 MB
01:39

and this time it passed the test transaction.

Hopefully it will work out, and it passed the xpdf section where it stopped
last time ....
Currently the cursor blinks underneat:
kernel 100% done 7/30

I hope it has not frozen again.
