yum question

[Jude DaShiell]

When I reinstall the original fedora core 3 speakup operating system on 
this machine later today, what can I tell yum in what way so yum does not 
go and update the alsa-project software?  The updates on alsa-project 
software since February 2005 have imposed a completely effective denial of 
service attack on first multimedia functionality and second g.u.i. 
accessibility through gnopernicus on this computer.
