So you used the 7.3 installer but used the 7.2 rpms? I think that I'd like
to do this, if possible.

Well as a debian nutjob, I like apt a lot, and I do use apt under rh w/ a
lot of success. I am afraid to try to do a dist upgrade, though.
I have an unofficial apt source line for rh6.2, for all those who want the
newest mailmain (mostly), it also has python2.2, and some 7.3 kernel utils
compiled for rh6.2 w/ all that apt goodness. The disclaimer that this is
all a joke and I'm not responsible for anything bad should go double here
as these are my first rpm packages I ever made. They work ok, so far, on
our production server, though.
