Nice--didn't know you could exclude packages on a per repo basis. In that case, it's even easier. If you --excludepkgs=NetworkManager* from the updates repo line, it'll presumably just pick the packages up from the release repo, and everything in the garden will be lovely. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
