It is not a "service" in the same way that sendmail or ntpd are. Think of it as a desktop activity. As such use desktop tools to manage it. Try a right click on the icon and set the polling to something like weekly or monthly. You can set it to never run but never updating is problematic in itself. I like to let it download updates and notify me to install them. This can speed up the install when I elect to do it. There is no special value in turning it off downloading updates is something I suspect you do want. -- Regards, T o m M i t c h e l l -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
