Somewhere in the [main] section put the following line: exclude=openoffice* For example, your [main] section will now look like this: [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 exclude=openoffice* instead of what you pasted in your last email. This should do what you want. Steven P. Ulrick
