Updating to ydl 2.2 from 2.1

[mutex]

You need to edit your yup.conf to include the location of the packages
on CD, there is a like .addr, it should be pointed to the rpms on your
CD with "file:///mnt/cdrom/YellowDog/"(it being mounted of course) 
after that a simple, yup update should do the trick.  Make sure when
your using yup to be root, otherwise you will not be able to install
packages.  A common problem is using "su" to get to root, which merely
changes user and does not read bash profiles/rc's, which will in turn
not load paths like /usr/sbin.  /usr/sbin and a few other directories
are not included in user shells by default, so to load the root files do
"su -".  This will reset the enviornment variables.
