Under RedHat AS 2.1 I have to use yum-1.0.3 Yum --help gives : # yum --help Usage: yum [options] <update | upgrade | install | info | remove | list | clean | provides> Options: -c [config file] - specify the config file to use -e [error level] - set the error logging level -d [debug level] - set the debugging level -y answer yes to all questions -t be tolerant about errors in package commands -R [time in minutes] - set the max amount of time to randonly run in. -C run from cache only - do not update the cache -h, --help this screen No --exclude. Are there any options for a 7.3 / 2.1 user?
