Thanks Rex - I knew there was an answer I hadn't found... But, I also knew that what I was wanting to do was as per the kernel - so, why isn't there an 'installonlypkgs' line for the kernel in dnf.conf - I would have found what I was after if there was...
If fact, iirc, I believe I looked at 'installonlypkgs' in the man page, noted waht it said about kernels and dismissed that option because there is no line in dnf.conf for the kernel... My dnf.conf: [main] gpgcheck=1 installonly_limit=3 clean_requirements_on_remove=True exclude=master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1* excludepkgs=master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1* Any comment?
