I'm not a trusting soul. I am running FC1 and Win4lin, and couldn't really do my job without either using a windows machine, or running win4lin.
In my /etc/yum.conf I have added "exclude=kernel*" under the [main] block.
Yum will no longer update kernels, which I didn't trust it to do by itself anyway, but will update everything else.
