Thanks Seth. Currently ISO installs (via CD-ROM or network) aren't an option for a set of servers. I'm curious if there's any value in using yum to perform upgrades where new packages must be introduced (a combination of yum upgrade and install), or if a bulk rpm -Fvh RPMS/* (or something similar) would be simplest. If any list members have had this task to deal with and have any advice to share, I'd appreciate it.
