Question about differences in RHEL 4.1 and CentOS 4.1 organization.  Does CentOS
follows same organization as RHEL?  I don't see separate directory for 4.1
on
Red Hat's ftp server (well, the public part of it, with SRPM packages),
seems
like all the updates were simply dumped into the 4.0 updates area, so basically
doing normal system upgrade will bump all RHEL 4.0 systems to 4.1.

On the other hand, on CentOS site, there is a separate directory for 4.1, with
distinct set of packages for 4.1 that are not present in 4.0 update area.  So
basically, one would need to manually point yum to 4.1 directory tree to fully
update system with latest bug fixes.

Is this difference in approach intentional?  Or the acutal update process (for
those with RHEL subscriptions) is actually like the one for CentOS?  How do you
determine what packages were "regular" updates, and which packages
were part of
U1?
