Hi Guys/Ladies,
I'd like to disable yum from updating just the kernel.
Everything is nice and stable with OEL 7.8 and I don't want any updates to the kernel but update everything else.
I know I'll miss out on features and have legacy security issues but it not a production enviro.
I've added this to /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=kernel*
It's had some effect as I don't see any updates through yumex but I've seen other examples that have more specific filter criteria. I'm looking for a general, all encompassing filter that will exclude all future updates.
Thanks guys, and ladies. ;-)
