    I did a general "yum update" on my Fedora Core 2 on a Toshbia
    Satellite Pro 6100. It downloaded everything (703 updates) and then
    started installing all the new stuff. It got to number 78
    (postresql-server) and then it hung, requiring a reboot.

    I can reboot and try again but now I have no idea what state my system
    is in.

    How can I roll everything back to the state it was in before I did
    yum?
