I attempted to update a SL 7 system using the Add/Remove Software GUI 
update feature.  The update fails with:

Test Transaction Errors:   file /sbin/extlinux from install of 
syslinux-5.10-1.el7.rfx.x86_64 conflicts with file from package

However, as there is no "find" command on the above GUI (unless it is a 
control or escape sequence of which I am unaware), a visual scan of the 
list of packages to be installed does not reveal any syslinux files, and 
the GUI does not seem to show dependencies and/or additional files that 
must be installed.  Do I manually use yum to remove the offending 
syslinux file and then rerun the update or will this cripple the system 
making the update impossible?
