I really don't know if this is what you want, but you could just upgrade
the packages you need manually:
# rpm -Uvh foo.7.0.rpm
You don't even need to reboot, just restart the daemons. If it is a
"crutial server" I would check for the latest RPMs for bind and wu-ftp at
least and care about the dependences.
As far as the message that welcomes you I don't where the RedHat version
is stored, but you can check the script /etc/rc.d/rc.local for
information.
Good Luck!
