Hi David and Dan; I appreciate your suggestions; but I kind of wanted to use yumex as a specialized browser. Changing the preferences just delays the inevitable while pup only gives me the updates.

I was trying to avoid things like the following: Add a new program; close yum; then say to myself; "Did I download the gui that goes with it? Or, oh yea, I wanted that other program too." My headers have just been updated; I just want to go back to where I was. Even if I miss a new upgrade, I'll catch it later. Regards Bill
