Can't discern any difference in behavior with the following: autorefresh = 1 autorefresh = no autorefresh = 0 No autorefresh entry in /etc/yumex.conf Would be nice if yumex made a backup of the config file as opposed to silently clobbering it. Seems to make quite a lot of changes when simply trying to toggle one flag: # diff yumex.conf_orig yumex.conf 2,18c2,4 < autorefresh = 1 < recentdays = 14 < proxy = < exclude = < debug = 0 < color_install = darkgreen < color_update = red < color_normal = black < color_obsolete = blue < filelist = 0 < changelog = 0 < plugins = 1 < usecache = 0 < fullobsoletion = 0 < yumdebuglevel = 2 < < --- > autorefresh = no > exclude = > proxy = > > (2) Just a wish list.

Noticed that "Development/Development Tools" was not checked despite the fact that I have extensive development tools installed. Toggling the check put an icon on the line, but added nothing to the queue to process. On restarting the box is again un-checked. Basic package installation works OK. Phil
