because I built a boot floppy. But I see another kernel update waiting
to be installed. I hesitate to download it because I don't know what
kind of mess it will make with my system.
Say,
man yum
and have a look at the exclude option -- if you're happy with a kernel
you can stop yum updating it until, say, a security issue makes updating
the kernel a good idea.
Best wishes,
