Hey, thanks for your thoughts. Recent portions of rpm -qa --last are
attached, in case it is helpful. I feel like a deer in headlights.

My latest draft strategy (thoughts appreciated):
rpm --oldpackage -Uvh *.rpm
in a directory containing:
libselinux-1.19.1-7.i386.rpm
libxml2-2.6.16-6.i386.rpm
libxml2-python-2.6.16-6.i386.rpm
neon-0.24.7-4.i386.rpm
popt-1.9.1-11_nonptl.i386.rpm
python-2.3.4-14.1.i386.rpm
rpm-4.3.3-11_nonptl.i386.rpm
rpm-libs-4.3.3-11_nonptl.i386.rpm
rpm-python-4.3.3-11_nonptl.i386.rpm
yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm
Concerns (possibly not removed, or would RPM do this??, negative
dependency??):
