Can anyone point me to an "idiot's guide" for going from up2date

Other folks have pointed you to the general (mostly excellent)
documentation, but you asked for specifics, so...
up2date --dry-run foobar
I don't believe yum has an equivalent behavior to this. I think the
closest would be 'yum deplist foobar'
up2date -u
yum -y --exclude='kernel*' update
Yum doesn't exclude the kernel and modules from updates like up2date.
If you really want this behavior, you can run the command above. You
could also try adding:
exclude=kernel*
to the "[main]" section in your /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
file; I'm not sure if that would work or not, but I'd guess it would.
up2date -uf
yum -y update
Much easier when you don't want to exclude anything. :)
Good luck!
