However, the RPMs you linked to above aren't packaged to this standard...so your stuck with manual updates here. They do provide 'kernel-modules' which is what will trigger Yum to only install these packages. For the same logic that you only install kernel packages, not upgrade. I keep some information about the fedorakmod plugin here, including a link to the packaging standard. http://linuxczar.net/wordpress/projects/fedorakmod Jack Neely -- Jack Neely <jjneely@xxxxxxxx> Linux Czar, OIT Campus Linux Services Office of Information Technology, NC State University GPG Fingerprint: 1917 5AC1 E828 9337 7AA4 EA6B 213B 765F 3B6A 5B89 _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
