Oh, my bad... I thought this was a yum issue. Adding a -K to resolve yum
resolving that problem would be sweet. I'm dinking with exclude to keep
any further "improvements" to my kernel from descending on me while I
have things working nicely. I'll stay right where I am for now! No more
forays to the fringes for me! Oh heck no. Even my webcam works after
touching config.h to resolve the build/make problem. Mr. Muggs agrees.
