I use this script for SL5 and SL6:
[root@ladd00 ~]# more update_SL6.sh
#!/bin/sh
YES=-y
cat /etc/redhat-release
uname -a
/bin/ls -ltr /boot | grep vmli | tail -1
rpm -q triumf-sl-yumconf
#[ `uname -i` == "x86_64" ] && yum remove {perl,gaim,gaim-devel}.i386
rpm -Uvh /triumfcs/mirror/SL/6/`uname -i`/os/Packages/sl-release-6.*.rpm
yum clean all
yum $YES update triumf-sl-yumconf
yum $YES update "yum*" "rpm*"
yum $YES update
[root@ladd00 ~]#
