I believe "yum update" updates only currently-installed packages, so
they should all be relevant.

yum update also prompts you to confirm the install before proceeding.
But as I wrote earlier, "yum update kernel*" will attempt to update just
the kernel packages (and prompt for confirmation before installing).
