I updated an FC3 system last night, but I didn't reboot it yet. I guess
I should try rolling back whatever got updated. 

Anyone know where I'd find the logs for up2date? I see a /var/log/
up2date, but it's zero length, and the earlier instances don't contain
any xorg references. And /var/log/yum.log only goes up to Sep 8, and
again doesn't include last night's xorg stuff. I'd like to know what
packages got updated so I can undo the update.
