This tends to mess with my network entirely too much of the time, or cost me access to the windows partition just when I need it to build a new ndiswrapper module for the broadcom 4318 radio in my lappy. This is at least partially a yumex problem too in that when kernel updates are held back, and a second one is released, then its sometimes pencil and paper to gather it all together and get the right versions installed as yumex only displays, and allows the addition to the cache list, of only the most recent stuff. So when the kmod stuff is finally released, then the kernel that goes with it has been superceeded and is not displayed for selection. At best, inconvienient. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
