Hey Bret,
Thanks for this tip, i went looking for this the other day and couldn't
find it. The latest version of apt from fedora doesn't seem to mention
this in the man page or in the apt.conf file. I ended up using synaptic
for the first time which is a very nice GUI but "hold" is what i really needed.
Thanks again,
Sean
