Some days ago we had some discussion, when I proposed that handling of "special cases", like kernel install/upgrades, should better not be done via Yum "built-in" functions, but via external scripts and/or external Python modules/functions (currently not possible). Some predefined scripts/functions could then be included with Yum, or admins can write their own handler. This would also cover your request. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204
