The alternative dd method described in the CentOS Installation Guide (but not the RedHat one) does not appear to me to work, and the only other way I see to install CentOS on a machine without a CD drive (the method described in the RedHat Installation Guide) is absurdly long-winded.

Using the netinstall.iso is still available and would be a more efficient way of doing network installs anyway (9.5M vs 685M). Unless things have changed since I messed with network installs (which is has been a while), all you really need is some way to boot the kernel and initrd files.

I believe if you tell yum to be more verbose it will tell you when one

if you need -v or something with -d.
What in the spec file told you that?
The Obsoletes line:
Obsoletes: gmime = %{version}-%{release}
Also... I know to look in the SPEC file by installing just the src, but
is there a shorter (another, better) way to look at it?
RPMForge is usually pretty good about having the spec files in their svn:
http://svn.rpmforge.net/viewvc/rpmforge/
However, I didn't see one for gmime20, so I just installed the srpm.
This is all academic to me at this point... just want to learn a bit
more about RPMs if you're up for sharing wisdom.
No problem. I've learned it by reading mailing lists and messing around myself.
