I am mirroring a yum repository. They have kernel RPMS of kernels that I don't care about. Such as athlon. I put in my /etc/yum.conf: exclude=*athlon* But it still tries to download the header for an athlon kernel :( [root@linux root]# yum list updates Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 9 base Server: Red Hat Linux 9 updates from FedoraLegacy Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers retrygrab() failed for: http://linuxjohn.intel.com/pub/fedoralegacy.org/9/updates/i386//headers/ kernel-smp-0-2.4.20-31.9.athlon.hdr Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://linuxjohn.intel.com/pub/fedoralegacy.org/9/updates/i386//headers/ kernel-smp-0-2.4.20-31.9.athlon.hdr [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found So how do I get it to stop downloading headers that I don't care about? Thanks, John
