I am using centos 6.5 minimal version, some of the updates may not be relevant for my OS.
I believe "yum update" updates only currently-installed packages, so they should all be relevant.
So I need to verify and decide the patches and accordingly need to update my OS. Please is there any way for this?
yum update also prompts you to confirm the install before proceeding. But as I wrote earlier, "yum update kernel*" will attempt to update just the kernel packages (and prompt for confirmation before installing).
