Exclude kernel updates in yum

Many times I have set up my NVidia driver in Linux only to clobber it during an update of patches because a new kernel was available.

Well, I run on a laptop, and I don't care about new updates to the kernel. So, I did the following:

Add "exclude=kernel* to /etc/yum.conf

That's all.  Happy days are here again.
