Well I thought I had it taken care of but an hour after I added the entry exclude=openoffice* to my yum.conf file and had removed the FC version and installed the OOo version yum installed the FC again over the top of the other one. [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 metadata_expire=1800 exclude=openoffice* # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d Did I do the exclude thing right and in the right file? This time after removing the FC version for the third time and installing the OOo version for the third time, I rebooted the box. I sure hope it stays the way I put it. -- If the word following begins with a vowel, the word you want is... to read the rest of this, go here http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/a.html
