Hi, in my /etc/yum.conf, there is an option exclude=kernel* But is seems to be without any effect: If a update my system by yum update it offers the kernel packages too. Only when using yum --exclude kernel'*' update then the kernel packages are not offered for update. What I'm dowing wrong? -- Regards Joachim Backes Joachim Backes <backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Kaiserslautern,Computer Center [RHRK], Systems and Operations, High Performance Computing, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany -------------------------------------------------- Phone: +49-631-205-2438, FAX: +49-631-205-3056 http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html
