Hello-

i'm planning to do an "upgrade" install tommorrow from FC2 test2 to FC2 test3
but i would like to know if anyone knows a way to exclude a package from being
upgraded during this process. the reason i need to do this is becuase i use
firewire daily and (to the best of my knowledge) no kernel since
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 has supported it. i guess i could use yum/up2date but
i've had bad luck in the past using them for upgrading many packages at a time
and in addition, i just prefer anaconda when upgrading a large number of these
packages. any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated in anticipation
of tommorrow's release! 

mark. :-)
