I repeat, Why does yum ignore this?  Is there something wrong with 
this line in my yum.conf?:
exclude=kernel* kde* xorg*

Addendum:  Its taken about 12 hours to clean up the mess enough to get 
x to run again and its not right yet.  As campers go, color me 
unhappy.  The whole of xfs got deleted for starters, its gone without 
a trace so I now have about 25 lines of FontPath "path to font" in my 
xorg.conf.

The automatic yum -y update is also gone, forever.  This is the third 
time its put me thru hell to restore my playtoy.  Screw it.  I'll run 
it, but it will be under MY control when next I use it.
