At a prompt:
rpm -qa | less
That will show you a list of everything you have installed via rpm (only
rpm). If you need something you can print or just look at later:
rpm -qa > list
will make a list of all installed rpms. You can then use that list however
you wish to download upgrades to your system, eliminate some of them or
whatever you want to do with it.
I'd say, download everything into a single directory (except for kernel
rpms - put them separately). Then (assuming they are the only things in the
directory) do:
rpm -Uvh *
As for the kernel, there's a good howto on redhat's site explaining how to
perform that upgrade. NEVER EVER UPGRADE A KERNEL WITH THE NORMAL UPGRADE
PROCESS (rpm -U kernel*)!!!!!!!!!
