It sticks in exactly the same place every time it is run. Always sticks on the resolving dependencies. Did yum update yum*
followed by
yum update

Yum update sticks in the same place every time.

This is a fresh install of Fedora 8--formatted hard drive.

I had that problem (and others) with yum until I changed the mirror list url to a specific location for all of my package sources in /etc/yum.repos.d/ files.

I discovered the source of my problem, some repo's were down making updates nearly impossible when I was trying to do them.

Got egg all over my face on that one :embarrashed:

Fedora 9 should be available by early next month but the yum mirror problem is not likely to change.

There is a package, yum-fastestmirror, which is supposed to choose the fastest mirror from a list of mirrors but I haven't tried it.

Since I live way out in Alaska, I did what carpetfeller did, choosing mirrors from http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ based on their proximity to our provider's fiberoptic network. I also created my own repo with createrepo so there is no problem updating all my other computers.
