I'm not sure whether I got what you said:
Are you (basically) talking about the idea I had yesterday: simply
force the upgrade -- despite lynx's complaints on the missing
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3):
----------------------------------------------------------
#rpm -Uvh /home/user/lynx-2.8.4-5.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by lynx-2.8.4-5
----------------------------------------------------------
Or do you want to say: it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade from
glibc-2.1.2-11 to glib-2.1.3-21, because if everything goes well
with glibc-2.1.2-11 running together with several minor upgrades to
RedHat 6.2 programs, it shouldn't be a big problem to upgrade
to the new glib-2.1.3-21 ...?
I think I'll make a little backup for my most important data on the
machine and then simply try installing glib-2.1.3-21 ...
And I'll sleep on it ...

For a complete RedHat Upgrade I will probably wait until the first
version *after* the one that will provide the new Kernel-version ...
IIRC the current new Kernel on RedHat 7.0 is still beta or some
thing like that ...?
It's really not bad what I have on the machine now with RedHat 6.1
and I will think not only twice, but again and again before leaving
the current stuff on my machine, not knowing what will be waiting
for me after a future upgrade to a higher RedHat version ...
I'm much too lazy to risk running into too much troubles with a
new RedHat version ...
I'll simply wait ...
