[Yum] Upgrading from 8.0 to 9

[Tom Hines]

Hi. I've finally gotten around to installing yum and
trying to update from 8.0 to 9. I've read that I just
have to point yum to the rhl 9 repositories and it
should work, but it failed with a dependency not
provided. Here is the output:

tom at localhost:[root at localhost root]# yum upgrade

I tried deleting gnome-vfs2, but that didn't work. I
also tried "yum update" to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom
