Hi David and Dan;
I appreciate your suggestions; but I kind of wanted to use yumex as a
specialized browser. Changing the preferences just delays the
inevitable while pup only gives me the updates.

I was trying to avoid things like the following: Add a new program;
close yum; then say to myself; "Did I download the gui that goes with
it? Or, oh yea, I wanted that other program too." My headers have just
been updated; I just want to go back to where I was. Even if I miss a
new upgrade, I'll catch it later.
Regards Bill
