Finally, GYUM (Graphical User Interface for YUM) for Fedora Core 3 has arrived!
(For history behind the GYUM, please see this original GYUM article.)

Wait, there is a catch. You need a special YUM build for FC3 to work with GYUM.
This special YUM build yum-2.0.7-3.FC3.GYUM will replace stock YUM build yum-2.1.11-3 and configure yum.conf for FC3.
So I would highly recommend to back up your current yum.conf and yum.repos.d directory.

Without further due, here they are:

To install,

[tchung@localhost gyum]$ ls
gyum-1.0-3.FC3.GYUM.i386.rpm  yum-2.0.7-3.FC3.GYUM.i386.rpm
[tchung@localhost gyum]$ rpm -q yum
yum-2.1.11-3
[tchung@localhost gyum]$ sudo rpm -Uvh yum-2.0.7-3.FC3.GYUM.i386.rpm

[tchung@localhost gyum]$

To launch,

[tchung@localhost gyum]$ gyum

Here is a screenshot of GYUM for FC3 ready for action.

Enjoy my GYUM!
