Following your method, when I enable rpmforge and then do a "yum update" yum will still try to update packages that were originally installed from base/updates with newer ones that it's found in rpmforge.

Saw your other update that should provide a better method. But the method I had in mind was that you would never do a "yum update" with rpmforge enabled. You would have been stuck with a manual "yum update package" for each RPM you had installed from rpmforge. So clearly not an ideal method and a manual process.

The ProtectBase approach is clearly better. Thanks for that link :)

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
