Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff?

You can do:

rpm -e up2date up2date-gnome

then see what is left ...

Got this

rpm -e --verbose up2date up2date-gnome error: Failed dependencies: up2date >= 4.3.38 is needed by (installed) firstboot-1.3.39-4.centos4.noarch up2date-gnome >= 4.1.5 is needed by (installed) rhn-applet-2.1.24-3.centos4.i386

Think I should upgrade and redo?

Thanks!
