Two identical machines, both running CentOS 4.3 plus all the errata.

Suggestions for future tries on other machines?

My first attempt aborted, but at a much nicer place. Right at the end of the downloads. I rebooted and took the simplistic view (may apply, I was also 4.3 all updates and the occasional Extra or Plus goodie).

Feeling it was the typical Linux VM issue, I ran yum check-update and put the output into a list. I split it into two pieces (about 130 entries each, IIRC), made each an update script and ran one. It worked, pulling in dependencies as needed. I ran the other.

The only anomaly so far is iproute wanting to update again. I let it.

Thanks much, Zube
