Just a quick follow up.....

I have done some research already and see that htere is a yumupgrade
option.  I am a little weary about it due to the large difference in
versions and also that its kind of like doing a bios upgrade in that you DO
NOT power off or stop the upgrade in any way.  Again, just looking for
guidance in the best direction.  Thanks!

Regards,

Jeff
