Well I took the exclude=kernel-headers out of yum.conf and yumex.conf and now yumex wants to update the kernel-headers and not the kernel. So if yumex shows a hundred updates I will have to check each individual package and not check kernel-headers, not being able to just click on 'Select All" If I did "Select All" then I couldn't uncheck kernel-headers because yumex would still try to update kernel-headers, once it has been checked, and you know what would happen then, the kernel is a dependency of kernel-headers and it would be updated. This is no win situation. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
