This might not work. The library versions (I know of glibc and openssl, there may be others) on 7.1 and 7.2 are different, and packages will not upgrade cleanly. Upgrade to full 7.2 on your production server, then upgrade from the errata via rpm -U. 7.1 is old and has exploits floating around. 7.3 is not in beta. They have a beta, but no one says its 7.3. Going by past history, they won't have a 7.3, but the next one will be 8.0 :-) Binand _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
