And by the way, if you do leaps like this make sure to update yum first. The older Yum might not be able to cope with newer metadata.

Just FYI. This machine has been offline and not updated for several months. I booted it and ran yum update. It generated an error. I googled the error, no hits. I did "yum clean all". Tried yum update again, it finished dependency resolution and reported some missing dependencies. I can deal with that. love and kisses, Dave

Here is the tail end of the error output:
