[K12OSN] Is yum update safe on 4.2.1EL?

[Petre Scheie]

If you have a spare disk, and some time the server can be unavailable, you might pull 
the existing disk(s) from the server, put in the spare, install 4.2.1EL, do the yum 
update, and see if anything breaks.  Ah, the beauty of no licensing hassles.
