YDL 2.1 -> 2.3

[B. Charles Reynolds]

I haven't tried this, but I suspect that the installer will simply ask 
you if you want to upgrade the system. Most of x86 distros do this 
(RedHat, Debian, Mandrake, SuSE, etc.) so I can't imagine how the YDL 
team could have overlooked it.

There may be some hidden problems, though (I had a helluva time 
troubleshooting after RH7.2 ->8.0 upgrade. Finally wiped the whole 
thing and installed SourceMage).
