Brand new install onto old hardware (PII-450) with KDE and doing an update of all packages with Yumex.

I've seen this before on other machines but ignored it. On this slow machine it's getting aggravating though; I have to babysit the process. Any idea what the problem is and if there's anything to be done about it?

Thanks.

I've had the same thing happen in Fedora since at least FC6. It also happens during an initial install of Fedora (Anaconda?). Very annoying to have to sit and baby sit the damn computer while installing hundreds of packages.

If you let it alone, it will eventually finish. But that may also be hours or days later.
