I use FC2 with UP2DATE. Of course, recently that stopped doing
anything. So I started using Fedora Legacy for updates with yum,
and have pulled some stuff which looks like it was needed.
But now when I do a yum, I don't quite understand what is going
on. I watch my ADSL modem, and my ETHERNET router activity
lights, and what yum reports and what I see seem not to
correspond.
# yum update

I find this odd. What am I missing?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
