Shouldn't Daniel be booting to single user mode by adding a 1 or 3 or
something to the grub boot line to enable him to boot from the hard
drive in text mode to do the updates with yum?
yes, I did mention installing in text mode so you can see what's going
on, but once that's done you would need to boot into runlevel 3 and
update via yum or up2date.
to do that, when GRUB starts, just hit any key except enter and edit the
boot command. append the number 3 to the end, and it should boot up into
text mode.
