If you were in Taiwan, then $6K NT isn't bad.  But if you are talking $6K US
then *OUCH*

I think I need to use yum to install the RPM's in the F7-DVD.iso file if
things are to update properly but I'm not sure how to accomplish that,
help appreciated but I am about to investigate that.

I'm an old hand at this.  I am sure there will be some that will tell you
that you can set up a "local repo" and use yum.  However, I would simply use
"rpm -ivh" and if there were any dependency issues I would figure them out
on my own.

Sometimes experienced people are not always the best source of help.  :-(

Until yum came along I always waded through the dependencies manually. But yum makes it easier, no doubt about that.

I'll try as you suggest and see what happens ...
