[Centos] some questions

Give it at least a few hours [days?].  The RHEL SRPMS only went live sometime 
yesterday - they have to be downloaded and then it can take some amount of CPU 
time to rebuild everything and then to spin new ISO images.  I am guessing 
that Johnny Hughes or others in the Centos realm are already rebuilding them 
at this moment.

If you have a box where the errata are urgently needed (its a beta, thus it 
shouldn't be exposed thus security errata shouldn't be urgent, but that is a 
lot of "shouldn't") you ought to be able to rebuild the RHEL SRPMS yourself by 
downloading the relevant SRPMS from RH and then using

"rpmbuild --rebuild <file.srpm>"

where file.srpm is the srpm you downloaded.

regards,
-Ryan
