Ok - something truly bad appears to have happened. Yes, I will concede that cycling the system was a bad thing - but after two hours it should have returned from the update, still I was bad.
There are indeed updates that it wants - and I went back to the site to get them, but then things continue to show up as missing. # rpm -Uvh --force rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: librpm-4.4.so is needed by rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.i386 librpmbuild-4.4.so is needed by rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.i386 librpmdb-4.4.so is needed by rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.i386 librpmio-4.4.so is needed by rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.i386 popt = 1.10.2 is needed by rpm-4.4.2-48.el5.i386
Clearly I have a pretty big hole here. Yes I have been spoiled by yum and rpm. Years ago I use to command line build, make and install everything - but dropped that habit in favor of the ease of yum.
Are there are set of core files that seem reasonable to pull and install -
It is beginning to seem that I may be ahead of the curve to download the new Centos 5.3 i386 images and install a fresh system on another hard drive and then move my mail, websites and other relevant files over.

It looks like your system is closer to 5.2 than 5.3.
In that case, I suggest you try to install this RPM of yum instead: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos...
If it still asks about dependencies, you will have to download them and install/upgrade them manually using RPM.
Look for them here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/ And here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/RPMS/
Once you get to install yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1, yum should start working again.
When you got that done, you can try to use it to upgrade again, but this time I advise you to do it on a screen session from an SSH connection, and not through Webmin. And do not reboot the server in the middle of the upgrade, since that is probably what started your problems in this case.
