I think that there should be a solution that allows you to select. The further problem with the response is in using the exclude config switch you might have a slight problem in excluding everything except the english updates etc. A more positive aspect for the solution is that yum detects the fact that multilanguages are available and prompts for inclusion of all or the inclusion of a selected language giving you the best of both worlds. -- Otto Haliburton <ottohaliburton@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
