Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison<snip>
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?
Adding firstboot and rhn-applet should do it or doing "yum remove up2date up2date-gnome" should do it.
On the couple systems I have I generally remove the up2date & rhn cruft. Firstboot is only used the first time the system boots after the inital install and rhn-applet is the update notification icon.
Sounds like a plan! I'll take out first boot and the other two. I'll miss the flashing red icon though... but not too much!

Thanks Johnny and Paul!
