Never heard of it, and Google can't find any pages with details on it 
(mentions, yes, but no details).  It appears that the author of suspend2 
renamed it tuxonice, but that's all I've been able to find out.  Can you 
send me a pointer to more information?

Unless the servers are REALLY hard up for disk space, this seems like a 
REALLY bad idea.  Ugh!

Same as above.  Google has no idea what it is.  Can you tell me, and 
where I could get it?  Yum search doesn't know anything about it, either.

For that matter, it was only from your next post that I learned what 
"installonlyn" does.

(time passes, Google is flogged mercilessly)...
Ahh.  Yum is hosted at Duke, and there is a wiki.  It tells me the 
plugin you mentioned is really called "yum-skip-broken."  Now installed.


Thanks.  With that installed, I'll try to clean things up.
