What I have found to work best is roughly the following. If anyone is 
interested in more detail, I'll try to answer as best I can.

I use scripts I wrote to rebuild the Red Hat disks using all the updates. 
Then, I update the slinky file lists to reflect the updates. You can then 
do a slinky install from the updated media. Once the install is complete, 
all packages are up to date.

For more info see:

The scripts above use the anaconda tools to rebuild the install disks. 
It's reasonably straight forward to build new ISO's containing all the 
most current packages. 
The tedious part is updating the slinky file lists with the new versioning 
info...
