How to make yum history show more than the last 20 transactions?

[Javier Perez]

Take my example. I have 137 yum history transactions on this server, the
first one from march 2010

Now that I have upgraded to FC15 I have made several updates, additions and
removals. (more than 20)

I wanted to look up the yum transaction where I did the system upgrade
(transaction 116) while tracking some bugs in my system, but the only way I
could do it was by

>yum history list 116

I found out it was that transaction number by going all the way from 100
forward, listing one by one until I found it out. instead of issuing 16 yum
history commands.

If I had a list 100-118 or something similar I could have found out the
transaction number in just one command.
