a CentOS-5.0 machine, when yum updated, without changes to the yum
configs will update to 5.1 and 5.2 when its released etc and keep with
the latest released updates.
What Robinson is trying to do, or seems to be wanting to do, is to just
install 5.0 and *not* update his main base OS repo to the newer one, and
stick with 5.0 only. in that case, he is going to need to jump through a
few hoops to keep with the updates.
Normal uses ( and I'd say pretty much everyone ) do not need to worry
about this, since they dont do this sort of a thing :D
