RH7.1->RH7.2

[Michael Kratz]

Well i did it last night, I bit the bullet and did the yum upgrade.

The only issues I had were:

when installing authconfig got this:
warning: group lock does not exist - using root

I added lock group to my /etc/group manually, but didnt alter authconfig

I had to remove the "sa" files too because they were generating errors 
for some reason.

I also had to remove the stuff from automount (/misc stuff) it was 
causing errors too.

But after I did all that, I ran lilo again just to make sure the kernel 
was in, then rebooted the box and prayed... it came back, no problems since.
