Hi list, I've probably missed something obvious, but my Fedora 7 yum seems to be ignore my settings for installonlypkgs and installonly_limit. Yum appears to insist on updating my kernel packages, and I haven't exceeded installonly_limit. (I used livna repos for nvidia kernel modules. I disabled the livna repo for the tests below, but I have the same problem when livna repos remain enabled..) What have I missed? Is there another setting (other than /etc/yum.conf) on a Fedora system which is controlling this behaviour?
