I've got the pre-upgrade list now; I can diff the two files and strip out the unnecessary columns/versions. In fact, the 'yum shell [filename]' syntax will allow me to install from such a file.

Right now, I'm going over the original list to see what of the 1600 installed packages I don't need to bring forward, and which of them will require me to bring over old config files. -Don
