Ok. I just asked because you never mentioned you had actually checked. Just a kernel missing when you update is not proof ;-) I see that you have priority protections in place. Disable all your extra repos, then disable the protections (basically go back to your inital repo setup) and then do a check-update. You are using the mirrorlist and not a specific CentOS mirror, do you?

Kai: Thank you. I will do that, ASAP. Either *very* early some morning, before my wife is using her box, or when she's not home. I am not using a specific mirror. The other boxes also have priority working and yum gives the message about 259 (?) packages are protected and the Kernel updates on them were OK. However, as I am typing this, I suspect that I updated the Kernels on the other 2 boxes, by checking that they be updated in "PUP", with a couple of other packages, and not with the blanket "yum update" as I did in her box, with the command line.

BTW: I notice that your mail is missing any threading information, so that it doesn't thread at all. I see that other people who use Gmail do get the threading information, so there's probably some option not activated in your Gmail account.

Thank you for pointing that out. I do not believe that is a setting in Gmail. When I signed up for the list (3 years ago), I selected the Digest, because we had to go back to dial up, when we moved here. We have ADSL now, so I just changed that, to get individual emails from the list. That should begin Monday or Tuesday, and, hopefully, my messages will look better, when I reply. Also, during the past few days, with the DVD reader problem and this one, I have also done some reading of the ML Archives on the CentOS web site and copied messages there that I replied to, before I received them in the Digest the next morning. Hopefully, when I begin receiving individual messages, when I reply to them, the threading will not get screwed up, as it is now. Lanny
