Everything in this file needs to be on one line:- exclude=kernel* openafs* *-kmdl-* kmod-* *firmware* yum-conf* openoffice* ooobasis* The above was taken from a real system. The file is only honoured by the automatic yum updates, i.e. if you do a "yum update" at the command line then it will apply kernel updates, firmware updates, openoffice updates etc. -- Mark Whidby Infrastructure Coordinator (Unix) Physics/Chemistry/EAES/Mathematics Team IT Services, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences
