upgrade Rhel3

[Tom Hansen]

I would add that, in most cases, when you upgrade the kernel (which is 
basically what the update level in RHEL refers to), the old kernel is 
left still installed and is shown on the boot menu, but the new kernel 
is the default.  This allow you to easily revert back to the old kernel 
if any problems occur with the new kernel.  That did save me once when a 
particular application didn't like the new kernel.
