    Cool Multi-user Multi-task

    Hey all, I'm using CentOS and when I was running a yum update I was wondering if I could hide that process and continue working. Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks in advanced

    What do you mean hide? You could just send it to another work space.
    Two levels higher than a newb.
    (I can search google)

    So in text mode there is no other work space, right? Its just line by line I thought. Could I some how put that process running, in the background and chomp away at other tasks while it's running?

    I'm not familiar at all with Cent OS, but I know that in most distro's, you can switch text terminals by pressing ctrl+alt+(F1-F7) Each function key is a different terminal.

    i dunno. give it a shot
