Thanks.

After editing the fedora.8.x86_64.cfg file, I discovered this line:

exclude=[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefhijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]*.i*86
g[abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]*.i?86 glib2.i?86 glib.i?86

Now, I'm not sure if yum uses wildcard globbing or regular expressions.
>From the above, it seems to be a combination of both. If it's pure
regexp, shouldn't it be something more like:

exclude=[^g].*\.i.?86 g[^l].*\.i.?86 gl[^i].*\.i.?86 gli[^b].*\.i.?86
glib[^c].*\.i.?86

?

At any rate, any more ideas?
