Re: grab, not update

Let me see if I understand, you went from RedHat 6.2 -> 7.3 using GRAB as the
update tool? Wow, I have never tried that! 8^)

As far as the telnet issue... That is the packagers problem (I hate to do say 
that, but their version nomenclature is wrong). 0.17.* is always bigger then 
0.17 . Someone did not follow the rules! I would suggest to first uninstall 
telnet and telnet-server (I am sorry to even suggest that crude hack) and then 
do the sysupdate, and reinstall telnet (if it is even needed).

Honestly, I have to mention you are in uncharted territory. This is because 
RedHat changes a lot of stuff between dist versions, and they have hacked 
their CDROM updater to account for this (to the best of my knowledge). Just 
please don't try this on a production system. But of course PLEASE let me know 
your results!

Hope that helps, and good luck!
