Actually, the "stuff" I want to do is pretty limited. I mainly just
want to run "yum -y --downloadonly update" to get the alternate
boot partition's yum cache populated with updates which will be
there waiting to install when I boot for real. The mount --bind
gimmick earlier in this thread seems to work (according to my
experiments), now I just gotta get official scripts written and
installed in cron.
