Sam: Having both plugins installed is probably *not* a good thing to do. As was previously suggested, probably best to go with Priorities. Read this page: <http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities> I think the number of Packages being excluded (318) is in the ballpark. 73, Lanny _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
