ah, thanks, yeah, I figgered that out a couple hours ago with the help
of the #centos crew.
RHEL/RHN w/ up2date won't do kernel updates unless you expressly allow
it with --force or something...
I know you can put a "exclude kernel*" into yum.conf or .repo but
then, can you then override that without re-editing the conf ?
