Thanks a lot for the help. Unfortunately I don't know how to "boot into
init level 3" means. (I tried a variety of ways but none of them worked.
Unfortunately a google search came up blank). Could you tell me how to
boot into init level 3 (or provide a link that tells me).

I'm assuming once I'm in init level 3 all I do is type "yum update",
something is automatically downloaded and installed, and then I just
restart the computer. Is there anything else I should do after that?

Thanks again
John
