Please do not kill it as advised in the other response to the thread. You could corrupt your package database. You can simply hit Ctrl+c; yum/python is smart enough to under stand the user is trying to cancel. If it is downloading somehting, it will say to hit Ctrl+c again within 20s to confirm (or something along those lines), after the second Ctrl+c yum quits gracefully. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
