Well, good luck... apparently Anaconda has special meta-knowledge about some packages that is not present in the packages themselves though, for example when Firefox came out IIRC it privately knew to install firefox off its own back if you previously had mozilla. So for that reason, despite it is using the same set of packages, a yum upgrade is not quite the same as a DVD upgrade which uses Anaconda. But of course you could do the same with yum afterwards yourself in that case. -Andy
