Hi, Manoj 1st thing i stopped when it was taking too long. Still it takes long time. If I connect to internet then It comes but after very long time. By mistake - one of the option got deleted by me. It gives message saying repodata.xml file couldnot found when internet is not connected. I will try to install on another HDD and see what got deleted. Could it be that my machine on which I have installed is PIII that is why it is very slow? Thanks Bipin.

Either you can wait for it, to do it its thing, and try again a little later. Or you can stop the service manually. You do this by opening a terminal and typing $sudo service yum-updatesd stop Now you should be able to run Application -> Add/Remove. Just remember to start the service after you are done. You do this something like this, in a terminal. $sudo service yum-updatesd Alternatively, you could just reboot the machine. -Manoj.C
