It did it again this morning.  I'm using yum-2.0.4-20031121 but I think it
did it in plain 2.0.4.  Below is the command output and the log output.

I'm not sure why I got "Unable to find pid", this is the only time I've
seen it.  The run below is the second run.  The first was interrupted when
I dialup connection disconnected.  Yum currently just waits when that
happens.  Then when I press Ctrl-C, yum restarts the current file and
exits when it finishes that.

I'm downloading the last rpms of fedora-core-1 via yum right now (via
dialup).  Having test3's CDs copied to packages really helped avoid
downloading everything.


The initial time in the prompt is from where yum last exited.  I awoke and
found yum hanging after the modem disconnected, I pressed Ctrl-C (twice)
and went back to sleep, eventually yum restarted the download, finished
the file, and then exited.

The erasing was done as steps 16/26 and 22/26.  Nothing was logged about
these steps.
