YUM is a great package manager but it looks like YUM updates all updates available to my system and not just those installed in my system. For instance, I don't have gaim installed but a gaim update is available and will be installed (yum -y) the next time I run yum. Is there a configuration setting I can set to make yum only update those packages that are installed on my system. Some packages like gaim I know I can manually uninstall or individually yum upgrade each package, but there are some many Linux especially in FC applications that it's difficult to know which apps are required or have dependencies. Thanks. __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/
