The reality of the things is that it is much very simple and single requires of good bandwidth or very many patience. Next we presented/displayed the procedures to use yum and to make easily what some denominate "horrible, difficult and complicated ".

Creating Yum Repo's For FC3.

Code:
 yum list updates|less
Cleaning of the system.

Yum leaves as result of its use heads and packages RPM stored in the interior of the directory located in the route /var/cache/yum/. Particularly the packages RPM that have settled can occupy much space and is by such reason agrees to eliminate them once no longer they have utility. Also it agrees to do the same with the old heads of packages that no longer are in the data base. In order to make the corresponding cleaning, the following thing can be executed:
Code:
 yum clean all
Group install
Code:
yum groupinstall "groupname"
Dont forget the quotation marks for group install.
