Pretend for a moment that the updates weren't grouped into 4.1, 4.2 etc. but just came down as individual updates through yum update. In that case would you still keep updating your system? If yes then get the updates that are in 4.2 (you're not really 'upgrading' the system, just continuing to get updates for it). -- Tim Edwards
