Actually upgrading from pervious version has been a inherently week point
with redhat releases over the years, why is this, is it due to problems of
the rpm tool or the complexity of upgrading a user modified ditro.

Also there are annoying things like the fact that and ugrade seems to
allways install sendmail no matter what the current MTA you are using is,
and broken termcap entries etc.

I would recommend a good tool called prozilla available at
prozilla.delrom.ro, to accelerate te download.
