Oh, sorry, you're right. But, I'm not sure what I was doing wrong,
because actually now, I am not getting the errors about those packages.
However, some things (the 2.6.14 kernel) are still not installed. Now
that I look at it, it looks like it may be out of disk space. (189MB of
9.5GB available on /). I guess an "all packages" install was a
mistake... I guess I'll just re-install and choose my packages...
Try a "yum clean packages" first; it might free up quite a lot of disk
space if you've applied lots of updates.
