The update works for me great after all. But if you do this on a server 
with several services running on, you have to know that the config 
files can change and their paths too.

For example on RedHat 8.0 sendmail.cf isnīt longer under /etc but under 
/etc/mail. Of course this makes more sense, but after years running 
sendmail with a sendmail.cf under /etc, you are a bit surprised. ;-)

So I've done this update without updating the following software. I 
will do this later, without the automatism of the RedHat update.
sendmail; sendmail-cf; inn; inews; bind; bind-utils; 
caching-nameserver; squid;

Another problem are the new gcc and glibc packages from RedHat 8.0. All 
your software self-compiled before updating the system works under 
RedHat 8.0. But after the update you aren't able to build up on these 
self-compiled software. For example Qt and Kde, the problem I'm 
running in. I've compiled Qt under RedHat 7.1, but after updating my 
system, I'm not able to install new self-compiled kde software cause 
of Qt and Kde building with another gcc version. Of course I know 
about this problem, but I don't know about the trouble getting when 
trying to compile qt-3.1.1 under RedHat 8.0.
