Forced Upgrade when version is the same?

[Larry Houston <larry boyd geog mcgill ca>]

RPM List:

Looking for a way of automating Forced Upgrades where the RPM Versions
match those already installed, like a Refresh which only applies to those
already installed!  With VA Linux 6.2.4 now a dead-end distribution, I
would like convert an existing installation to RH 6.2 (the distribution
upon with VA 6.2.4 was orginally based).  With something like 600 RPMs
installed, manually running "rpm -Uvh --force filename.rpm" from a RH 6.2
CD-ROM does NOT sound very good???
