Likely there will be orphaned packages; some are likely to have been 
dropped.

After the upgrade, "rpm -qa --last" | less will show you what didn't get 
upgraded.

Upgrade is what I intend to do to get a box from RHL 7.3 to Centos, 
probably 4. I will, of course, use another drive, and I will test on 
another system.
