Hey Y'all,

I have VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.22_80657_el6-1.i686 installed on my system. 
When I start it up it tells me that a new release is available.

I downloaded the package and then tried to upgrade my Vbox installation:

[root@mushroom RPM_REPO]# rpm -qa | grep VirtualBox
VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.22_80657_el6-1.i686

[root@mushroom RPM_REPO]# yum upgrade 
VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.4_81684_el6-1.i686.rpm
Examining VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.4_81684_el6-1.i686.rpm: 
VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.4_81684_el6-1.i686
Package VirtualBox-4.2 not installed, cannot update it. Run yum install 
to install it instead.
No Packages marked for Update
[root@mushroom RPM_REPO]#

Having failed that I tried to intall it
[root@mushroom RPM_REPO]# yum install 
VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.4_81684_el6-1.i686.rpm
Running Transaction Test
Transaction Check Error:
Lots of conflicts with file from package VirtualBox-4.1
Error Summary
-------------
[root@mushroom RPM_REPO]#

It would appear that I will have to erase Vbox 4.1 in order to install 
Vbox 4.2.

If I erase Vbox 4.1 what happens to all my existing configuration?  Will 
I need to reconfigure my installation?  I'm sure you can understand my 
reticence.
