ok, i have a *very* preliminary yum newbie doc online at
http://www.kwlug.org/download.php.  it's nowhere near complete,
and i'm still working on content, aesthetics, fonts, etc., but
what's there should at least get you started.

what you'll find at that site are, among other things, a few
PDF files named "rh_admin_manual-<blah>.pdf", which are just
excerpts from a RH administration courseware manual i'm writing.
i've posted a few excerpts to get feedback from some of the
locals, so feel free to let me know what you think.

again, that yum excerpt is clearly incomplete, but it should
get you started.  more content will go up this weekend.
