I've upgraded a few machines that way myself. Works great, like you
said. The only thing left to do now is to go back and use something like
GnoRPM to remove all the extra packages taht you don't really need or
want. I remove the extra HOWTOs in different languages, the SGML
versions, all of the extra tetex stuff, the emacs lisp source code and
usually can get around another 100MB of space back. (Around 120 to 125
if I remove emacs as well, since I hate that little POS).
