greetings recently i asked a question and i was directed to the possibility that a certain fully enabled compiled kernel for CentOS 4 might help me. so, i am looking at http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt and wondering how to cover all bases.... can i cover all bases if i put an *blanket* package(s) exclude in /etc/yum.conf ? or do i have to put package(s) exclude in every config file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory ? specifically, the CentOS-Base.repo file. do i put it at the top and then it will be in effect for all sub-repos in that file?? at the top of the CentOS-Base.repo only? :) i realize that i can do it as a command line switch yet then my brains will fall out trying to remember everything. regards and tia for any clarification. - rh
