Maybe I don't understand what you're asking here. Yum update will
perform updates within a certain release. It will not upgrade you
between releases, though it can be made to do so by installing the
k12ltsp-release from a newer release.

This can have mixed results. Getting the new ISOs and upgrading through
the installer is the preferred upgrade method.



----------------------------------

Thanks Dan

rsync'ing the 5.x files as we speak.

We have been installing fresh for years. Somewhere along the line I got the impression that starting with ver 5 
we could run yum update and not have to reinstall similar to debian apt-get dist upgrade.
