That would be sweet. FYI, when yum updated the kernel, there was no
nvidia driver out, so it blew up. I use the hell outa graphics here and
whatever substitutes for the nvidia driver ain't up to the load. So, I
removed the new kernel, re-installed the older one, re-installed the
drivers, it burped once or twice and then settled in, while creating a
new ulcer. I've wasted the entire weekend on this and that bind thing. 

This is not a life, this is no way to live. I'm going back to wrest with
a system that lacks bind-config, whatever in the hell it does. And, no.
They haven't updated the mirrors yet or yum would have installed the
package when I asked it nicely to. rpm -q says bind-config ain't at
home. Yum says it has nothing to do. I would like to do useful work and
not live to do all of this shit. I am peeved. Ric
