    Well, sure you have to expect that.

    But when you start Yum Extender, it /will/ ask you to specify the root
    password. Now, sure, it asks you that just once--but you /do/ have to
    supply it.

    Nevertheless, I heartily recommend yumex, for a whole host of reasons.
    It gives me everything I wanted in a GUI front-end, while allowing me to
    see what it's doing (through its Output window), just as I can see right
    now on the command line.

    A very valuable customization and administration tool--and one I would
    like to see made part of Fedora Core, or Fedora Extras at least.
