Thank you Walt for your response. I guess what I understand is not what you mean to say since doing what I understand you to be saying does not cause a status change that sticks from one execution of YaST to the next. Here is the process of what I do and the results. Using the GUI I execute YaST. I then select "Install and Remove Software" and enter "wine" as the search target. Performing that search shows me wine with a status of "Keep" and with an Avail. Version 20050211-4 and with an Installed Version 0.9.7-0.1. I change the status from "Keep" to "Protected -- Do Not Modify." I then click "Accept", "Finish", and "Close" in succession. When I again execute YaST, select "Install and Remove Software", enter "wine" as the search target, and perform that search then I see that wine is again set to "Keep" instead of "Protected -- Do Not Modify." As I understand it wine is not protected from YOU which would "update" wine if I did not specifically tell it each time that wine is Protected. Please tell me what I'm not understanding. -- Jim Walt Ogburn wrote at 18:04 on 12 Feb 2006: > In "install and remove software," find the entry for wine, and set it to > "protect" (the icon is a padlock).
