yum upgrade hangs

[peter.g.harper at magnox.co.uk]

I think that I'm in need of the SMB server info as well. I've looked on YDL
and SAMBA
but can't find the information you are referring to. If you have it to hand
could you please
forward it.

Thanks,

Peter

Also, if you SMB, make sure that you check the mailing list for
instructions on how to compile SMB server (it's an EASY process... you
just have to follow the steps and wait about 2 hours (on a G3/266 128
MB RAM)). There's a problem with the one that comes with 4.0.

If you need that SMB server info, let me know and I can look in my
mail archive and pull out the relevant thread for you.

Eric.
