All of the 4.x line will update seamlessly with yum. There really is no effective difference between 4.1 or 4.2 except that an ISO image was made at the point where "4.2" was released. So, any/all of the 4.x line can be updated seamlessly to the latest release with yum without any special options. I don't know about `yum upgrade`, I've never done that. -Ben On Sunday 29 January 2006 21:13, Steve Bergman wrote: > I'm still trying to get an idea about how best to handle patches on > CentOS. > > Say I want to apply security patches automatically on a nightly basis. > But when the push from 4.2 to 4.3 comes around, I want to defer that for > when I can do it manually. > > Is that possible?
