You'll start doing updates, and be forced to reboot part way through, before you can download and install further updates. And then, on the occasions that you can defer rebooting, it's unwise to try installing anything else, e.g. software that you want to manually add, until the reboot. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
