I need to update a CentOS 4.0 system to CentOS 4.3. In my opinion, I should start out with a "yum update yum centos-yumconf" and then follow that with a "yum update". Does anyone have any other input as to what other packages might be needed to be updated with yum and centos-yumconf before the mass upgrade? Thanks, Barry

Make sure you install the new kernel not upgrade it incase you have problems with the new kernel. You also need to deal with all the rpmsave/rpmnew files. However if i were you, i wouuld back up my data and reinstall 4.3 afresh from cds. There were changes ie sqlite and so yum would complain.
