the upgrade itself is fine...no problems but I am confused about 1 thing. In order for yum to it's thing w/out updating the kernal, I put this: "exclude=kernel". I put this line in every division of /etc/yum.repos.d. i.e. Base, Updates, Addons, etc. my question is: I don't really know the proper way to exclude. thx John Rose _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
