The only thing you may NEVER upgrade using -U or -F is the kernel. Suppose that the new kernel isn't working properly, you can't roll back because upgrading removes all the previous file(s). You want to use -i (install) so that the new kernel is installed alongside the current one (kernel is the one exception with respect to install alongside an existing one). Regards, Patrick
