Tried that once already.  It just looped around and then wanted me to
pick one of 62. :-)

Actually, I've got an rsync of one of the mirrors on my local hard
drive; I always do it that way when I'm upgrading full version since I
don't want to have to wait for downloads while doing it.  It's got
everything current.  And the stupid thing is still giving me that list.
 I've got /^kernel/ in the skip.list file, so it's not going to actually
do anything; but I'd like to be rid of it altogether.

I've got the urpmi --auto-update running now and it seems to be going.
I already know I've got a few items that I'm gonna have to go back and
do manually since it said it couldn't upgrade them due to some missing
dependency or other.  I'll have to see how that turns out.  When it's
all done I'll again try removing the entry from skip.list and see if
it's *really* going to keep harping on me about the kernels.

I'll let you know how it turns out.... :-)
