Subject: fun with RedHat
you may not want to hear this, but in my opinion upgrading and OS,
regardless of the vendor, is not a good thing. Save yourself some
headaches and backup the data you need and then just install the new OS
version from scratch. Then take 2 aspirin and call the PLUG in the
morning.

Live long and prosper.
