I downloaded the DVD iso and started first with:
mount -o loop /path-to-iso/rhel-5-server-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt
cd /mnt/Server
for i in *.rpm
do
yum localupdate $i
done

after that i ran:
yum -y update


Kind regards,

Hello Jan:

Although /all/ other updates are now installed, your idea would give
me updated media from which to boot into rescue if needed.

However, I can't help but think that something on the order of what
Zaphod suggested is going to be the solution of choice.

Thank you kindly.
