I went browsing through their site and found this update page.   I
have a copy of 7.3 that's fairly early issue and this site said I had
over 100 updates that could be implemented so I let it rip.   It did
it all including the reboot.  That's when the bourne again shell
started coming up, with no gnome.  

I remember not ok'ing new files for particular applications.  Those I
nix'd were related to postgre and some other apps that I don't have
plans on using.  But then it wanted one or two of the files anyway so
I relented.  :-/  But I don't think I short changed any file manager
or things of that nature.
