I do have other modules and I don't want yum to remove them. I've filed a bug report on this, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438181 One user already responded that yum-fedorakmod Is supposed to prevent. I'll try, but I'm not optimistic because not all modules follow the "Fedora Extras packaging standards" described in that package's information. For example, I have been using for a very long time a kernel module called openafs-kernel. I know it can be repackaged as kmod-openafs, but doing so would break about 20 machines. So I don't want to. -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas
