Why do you not want to run 5.2? I've been running it for months, no issues.

1) How can I cause yum update to update all except for the kernel?
2) We prefer not to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 because our costumers(which use RH5.1) want to stay in RH 5.1 but still get the latest patches for that version only.
NOTE : I thing it's a psychological issue for the costumers,the movment from RH 5.1 to 5.2.
they may thing that they get diffrent RH version.
