As I said, though, be careful - I got into an endless loop after upgrading (I expect the problem was in initscripts). I'd keep RPMs of the old ones on your hard disk, so if anything does go wrong, you can go in with a rescue disk and restore your system to its original state (OK, you can also FTP them from a rescue disk, but it's a royal pain).
