Thanks Jim. Where is the manually installed list?
Thanks,

This is a problem if one wishes to keep an older known working
kernel around with hardware/software that requires
kernel-nrjQL-desktop-devel like nvidia drivers.
My misunderstanding is that a package "installed-through-deps" Should
be put on the --auto-orphans list when nothing depends on it. If you
install a new kernel, nothing should depend on the old one.
If you want to keep the old one, you want it on the "manually
installed" list. Simply use rpm -qa |grep packagename to get the
package name correct and urpmi packagename. The package is already
installed so it will not be installed again, but it will be marked as
"manually installed."
Cheers!
