Kill the PID and you are ready to run yum update. When you finish your update you'll need to reboot, to run the new kernel, so that will restore the yumd, automagically.

Kill the PID and you are ready to run yum update.

Since Fedora 7 there has been a tool shipped with the distro called preupgrade. With preupgrade you take some easy steps and upgrade your whole distro. To get started: <code>su -c 'yum update' yum install preupgrade preupgrade</code> It doesn’t have to be so comlplicated as you write here.

The method above appears to evade this problem so I thank the author for that and am planning on using this method for some upcoming updates. Some of the "extras" repositories have changed in F10 but I found the guide located at http://www.gredil.net/wiki/Fedora_10 very useful in resolving these for F10 and getting the system up to scratch. There is also a good fresh-install guide at http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora-10. I hope your readers find them as useful as I did. I appreciate all the effort the authors put into this to help bring us newbies into the new (not so new for some I know) world of OSes.
