List,
I just installed Fedora 8 and disabled yum updatesd service so that I can run yum. But 'yum install pktgen' hangs there forever. Any help will be appreciated.

How did you make the change? Did you disable it *and* stop it?
There's two separate parts to controlling services. You can set what will be started on certain run levels, and *separately* start and stop services, now.
e.g. Stop yum updatesd from being started: chkconfig yum-updatesd off (this will *not* change what the service is doing at the moment)
Stop it from running, when it already is: service yum-updatesd stop (this will *not* change whether it is started when the computer boots)
