Been there, just did that. Several things "break", mostly config type
things. Most things are rpmsaved, though I think lilo.conf is not (which
is what always bugs me).
If you run your console with the lilo vga=extended option, don't install
SVGAText or take the time to setup SVGAText, it swaps the console back to
the standard 25 lines.
If you are running bind, you will need to learn the new configuration,
named.conf. I haven't taken the time yet...
BackItUp and Good Luck!
