Remembering the syntax for yum is something I seem to have problems with. To simplify my own life, and possible yours, here is a list of some commands I find useful. Some of them should be executed as root.

Install without being prompted: yum -y install package-name
Uninstall without being prompted: yum -y remove package-name
Update without being prompted: yum -y update package-name
List available packages: yum list
List installed packages: yum list installed
Clear cache: yum clean all
Getting help: yum --help
Assume yes, answer all questions with yes: -y
Debug level, 0 - 10: -d
