Thanks Mike. If I "crossgrade" as above from the rhel version I mentionned to centos 3.5, is it likely to want to upgrade a whole swag of stuff? Can I be selective about what actually gets updated? (without causing problems)
Of course. Yum is designed for just such purposes.
Once you've done the manual steps of the process listed earlier in the thread, do a "yum check-update" to see what it will update. Review that list and then do a "yum update package1 package2 package3" from that list. If there are any dependencies, yum will tell you and ask if you want to install them. You get complete control.
