reboot and start again - yes i had this case in the past
"yum-complete-transaction" and "package-cleanup" is your friend

a small UPS does not cost too much an prevents from such cases
but to be honesty - have a power outage while dist-upgrade
is like win in the lottery

WTF - who will do this in the case of a power outage

and what the hell does a upgrade with DVD if your power goes down?
there is no difference to a yum upgrade - you have a undefined state

so please stop with such senseless arguments!
