I finally got back to this project, and tried to use the yum command above
to upgrade the guest image. It did not work. I just got a message saying
"No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion".
I wonder if it''s really checking the guest''s configuration or
the host
system.
Anyone have any more ideas?
