CentOS - Jun 2005 - yum setup help and extra repos including centosplus

greetings

recently i asked a question and i was directed to the possibility that a
certain fully enabled compiled kernel for CentOS 4 might help me.

so, i am looking at

http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/centos/4/centosplus/Readme.txt

and wondering how to cover all bases....

can i cover all bases if i put an *blanket* package(s) exclude in
/etc/yum.conf ?

or do i have to put package(s) exclude in every config file in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/ directory ?

specifically, the CentOS-Base.repo file. do i put it at the top and then it
will be in effect for all sub-repos in that file??

at the top of the CentOS-Base.repo only? :)

i realize that i can do it as a command line switch yet then my brains will
fall out trying to remember everything.

regards and tia for any clarification.

the way I'd do it is keep centosplus disabled, and only enable it with a 
command line option when wanting to install/update something from 
centosplus
