CentOS - Oct 2005 - Update or not?

After reading all the problems with the x86-64 update, I'm in a quandry 
as to update this machine or not.  Nothing that I am aware of is broken, 
and at least everything I use works.  This is NOT a production machine, 
but it does have some important software that needs to run twice daily, 
and I sure don't want to break things for that.  If upgrade is not 
necessary, how do I go about turning off that red exclaimation point on 
the upper menu bar?  Just tell it to ignore everything?

do a 'yum update yum' then 'yum update kernel* audit*'
reboot the machine
and do a full yum update

Update worked flawlessly (except for problems arising from saturated mirror
bandwidth)

Afterwards, however, 'yum update' doesn't work because of
'dag' repository failures.

Taking 'dag' out of /etc/yum.conf lets me continue, what's with
'dag'?  Is he (his site) updated?

That advice worked for me.  The only negative thing I've noticed so far
is a ton of messages in /var/log/messages from dbus regarding the audit
system.  At this point, I don't know what they mean but nothing critical
seems to be broken.
