Upgrade from 4.0 to 4.0.1

Thanks for that Joseph.

Our machines aren't connected to the internet but I see from the man pages
that I can configure
it to use local files.

Yes...  use YUM.

        % yum update

[taken from the yum man page]
If run without any packages, update will update every currently
installed  package.  If one or more packages are specified, Yum
will only update the listed packages.  While updating packages,
yum  will  ensure  that  all dependencies are satisfied.  If no
package matches the given package name(s), they are assumed  to
be a shell glob and any matches are then installed.
