Yup.
Here's what I usually do after downloading *all* the updates, FWIW:

rpm -Uvh db3-3*
rpm --rebuilddb
rpm -Fvh i386/rpm*rpm
rpm --rebuilddb
rpm -Fvh i386/mount* i386/losetup*
rpm -Fvh $ARCH/glibc-* i386/kernel-*-2.2* i386/glibc-*-2.1*
rpm -ivh $ARCH/kernel-2.2*

[ edit lilo to make the new kernel the default and the old one a backup ]

lilo
reboot
rpm -Fvh i386/* noarch/*

In the above, $ARCH is the output of `uname -m` .

You'll probably need to change a couple of things for this to work
on your end (I don't install nfs on my boxes so it doesn't interfere)
but this should mostly work.
