Since I saw the mention above of what the GUI actually does, putting the ignore tag in urpmi.cfg, I've been meaning to give it a try and verify plus check actual formatting, then set up scripts with the appropriate sed commands to insert and remove the ignore tags in the cfg file as needed. That'd do for here, but command line switches to do the same thing properly WOULD be quite useful. -- Duncan "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
