I agree. User configurable options for yast and YOU to specify install or upgrade for at least kernel rpms would be nice. Could be an option for the installer when a user chooses the auto updates bit - they they choose install or uprade for kernel, with a wee bit of explanation to give them a clue what the difference is.
YaST cannot handle multiple installed RPMs of the same name, it only sees the most recent one. That probably won't change anytime soon. If you don't want YOU to automatically update the kernel just set the patch (not the package!) to 'taboo'. YOU preserves the list of taboo patches between runs by storing it in /var/lib/YaST2/you/settings. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX AG, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
