Chapter 2. Red Hat Update Agent
To define a set of packages to be excluded according to the package name, enter a character string
including wild cards (*) in the
Add new
text field under in the
Package Names to Skip
section. A
wild card at the end of the character string means all packages beginning with the character string will
be excluded from the list. A wild card at the beginning of the character string means any packages
that end with the character string will be excluded from the list.
For example, if the string
kernel*
in the
Package Names to Skip
section, the
Red Hat Update
Agent
will not display any packages beginning with kernel.
To exclude packages by file name, follow the same rules except click the
Add
button next to the
File
Names to Skip
section.
