There's not yet a "time" option, although that would be a valid feature
request. Such a time option begs the question about secondary policy,
like what to do if the user specifies updates should be installed at 5AM
and then goes to bed early for two weeks.

System -> Preferences -> Software updates, although I would prefer you
help us fix the problem, rather than taking that option :-)
Not to be contentious, but because I want to know if I'm missing
anything : what is the benefit of running PackageKit, rather than "yum
clean all" followed by "yum update" at *my* convenience daily?
