Hi Connie and Troy:

Just wanted to pass on some suggestions for corrections to the following 
website:

https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade

1) The location of the rpm for yum-conf is different.  The web site 
lists it as:
    linux/scientific/30x/i386/misc/RPMS/
    and I found it under:
    linux/scientific/30x/i386/SL/RPMS/
    (this was true for the YUM section, I assume the APT section is the 
same)
2) Step 8 of YUM (and step 12 of APT) lists /bin/reboot, it should be 
/sbin/reboot

    Also, in my installation, I found that in grub 
(/boot/grub/menu.lst), the menu was not updated to reflect 3.0.5 (still 
read 3.0.4).  I don't think this was a script problem, but you might 
want to include a note in step 10 of YUM (and step 7 of APT) telling 
people to update grub for this.

    Thanks for the hard work in putting this release out.  Let me know 
if you have any questions or corrections.
