too high a number? I have the numerical protection set to 1. Is there
a good tutorial about how to correctly set up the protect base.



I'd go with the priorities plugin.

Just to be on the safe side, I installed both plugins and have them
configured now. FWIW, I did a yum check-update and for some unknown
reason, I got no dependency issues and nothing was tagged for update!
Surely the addition of the protectbase and priorities plugins didn't do
that???


I appreciate all you all have responded, and apologize for the lame
questions. Time for me to do some more list reading I suppose.

Sam: Having both plugins installed is probably *not* a good thing to
do. As was previously suggested, probably best to go with Priorities.
Read this page:
<http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities>
I think the number of Packages being excluded (318) is in the ballpark.
73, Lanny

Thanks for the tip Lanny. Just set it up and will let it fly with
priorities only.

Ray: I noticed from his email address that he's an amateur radio
operator (Ham).
73 = "Best Regards" for Ham Radio Operators. I learned the Morse Code
when I was 11 years old and I can still use it. Lanny
