I put the: exclude=kernel kernel-doc kernel-source kernel-smp *debuginfo* line in my yum.conf file just under the retries=20 line. Then I gave the command yum upgrade at the command prompt and let the computer do its thing on a broadband connection. My computer was updated not upgraded though. What do I need to do, or what did I do wrong? This is a clean edition of yarrow on the machine and I had the install erase all partitions before it put system and packages on the machine to make sure of no problems. When I tried yum upgrade tonight, I got back the message no upgrades are available and /etc/fedora-release has the yarrow fc1 text in it not fc2.
