Well, not really...  There is more than one way to upgrade your
installation.  I personally copy all of the RPMs into a single directory,
remove the ones I know I don't want to install (I have a personal
version, etc,) then start going through "rpm -Fvh a*rpm"...  If some
dependency comes up, I figure out what I need to install and install it,
then continue.

up2date would probably work too (update redhat-release, then let it go
do its thing), although I haven't tried it yet.

The installer disc is nice, but it's definately not required. :)
