service yum start would do nightly update for your box automatically using current internet connection. issuing immediate yum update -y would upgrade all existing packages from your box including kernels, -y answers yes for all questions (unattended mode). there is a --localinstall option that does upgrade locally without internet. man yum . and these update rpm packages are located in /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages by default. but most users are much more satisfied using the fresh or upgrade thing from CD.

NOw FC5 is released. i want to upgrade to it using yum and i have an internet connection. in debian/ubuntu, you just edit the repositories and then do `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist-upgrade` and then your distro is upgraded. what is the equivalent of those commands in yum? the other scenario is i dont have an internet connection but i have the installation discs of FC5. how do i upgrade to it using yum? or is it better to boot from disc 1 and choose the upgrade option?
