Matt, in general the updates are handled in tow different ways.  Put all the 
non-kernel upgrades into one directory & do an "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"  This will 
take care of the dependency problems, unless it refers to things you simply 
don't have installed.

The kernel rpms should be _installed_, not upgraded.  This is covered in quite 
some detail in the errata instructions.
