Not sure how you were added.  I added myself...  Removing you.

Comment 3 Karsten Wade 2008-01-15 16:24:59 UTC
reassigning to an active contributor

suggested fixes make sense, represent 'best practices', thanks for the suggestion

Comment 4 eric 2008-01-16 16:07:53 UTC
The older "Docs" file has been superseded by the Wiki Draft version.  I have
verified that the Wiki version does contain best practices for using yum.
