I'm sure this must have been covered before but I can't find it in the forum or FAQs... What packages should I not update with yum? I'm assuming the kernel, but what else? I'm using Fedora Core 6.

Thanks much,
Tom

The kernel and any kernel modules on your Linode are ignored by the host, which provides a monolithic kernel of its own - so you can update them - it just doesn't change anything.
