Actually, my "man yum" page does not mention "--exclude".
(I upgraded from FC1 to FC2, and from FC2 to FC3t2.)

But thanks for the hint. 
I managed finally to complete a yum update.
============================================
[tim at william ~]$ sudo yum --exclude initscripts --exclude openoffice.org 
--exclude openoffice.org-libs --exclude openoffice.org-i18n 
--exclude xinitrc --exclude findutils update

Complete!
============================================

I'm amazed there are so many updates in so short a time.

I guess now I need  look around for the missing rpms.
Anyone got any suggestions where to look?
(I can't access rpmfind at the moment.)
