Well, 1.5 or so. The wireless isn't that fast, but it's not tediously 
slow either.

I haven't seen any evidence ot it having an rpm open over the network.

I've had a couple of interruptions to service, once to change BIOS 
settings, once when some klutz (not me) put foot to power.

I also ran yumdownloader to ensure I have the latest kernel; it runs fine.

yum has changed its behaviour:

I'm going away for a few days; when I return there should be a new 
kernel for me to try. If that works, I want to clear this up (and I 
assume "yum clean something" will do it) so that I can get all my 
updates installed and get to evaluating the prospective f9.

Is there a sound way to save stuff, to allow us to continue sorting this 
out, and how should I do it? Disk space is getting short, but I think I 
can filch some from my 500 Gb NTFS drive. Or delete a VM or two.

When I'm back, I'll contemplate making my repo accessible by http 
(prospective fight with selinux) and/or make it my side of the wireless 
network, if you still think it's worth trying.
