Or you could point yum at the newer sl5k repo just to get that update,
sort of like
yum --enablerepo=... update R
which hopefully wouldn't pull in too much else of the newer stuff - I
guess that is important for people who must stay at a particular release
of course...
[ personally we always try to keep all our machines running the latest
minor-version - once we have tested that all the new stuff works with our
local hackery of course... :-) ]
