I'm sure that's not correct english, but then again, english is not my native tongue.
What I mean is this:
I like my current configuration and when I type "pacman -Suy" on a regular base I want my "userland" apps to be updated, but not my kernel. I thought I understoot how and I edited my "/etc/pacman.conf" (2 weeks ago) like this:
#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers
NoUpgrade = etc/fstab etc/raidtab etc/ld.so.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst
HoldPkg = pacman glibc kernel
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
(I added the word "kernel" on the HoldPkg line).
But look what happened:
[dick@R50p ~]$ uname -r
2.6.21-ARCH
[dick@R50p ~]$
What did I do wrong? What do I have to do to tell pacman to leave the kernel as is?
Somewhere between "too small" and "too large" lies the size that is just right.

Not HoldPkg, but IgnorePkg. Not kernel, but kernel26.
IgnorePkg kernel26

Thanks!
