Many thanks! Installed and now it is performing 118 updates.
Out of curiosity, how should I have known about this addition to
yum? I am not an active Linux server user in that, Centos just
runs and runs providing me with FTP and HTTP that is used to
share photographs with others and exchange source code for
projects. So, every once in a while, something comes up where I
need some assistance, and all of you have been so helpful - and
patient.
