	New Services Require Activation
	When you install a service, CentOS does not activate or start it. To configure a new service to run on bootup, choose Desktop->System Settings->Server Settings->Services, or use the chkconfigand service command-line utilities.

Updating Software with yum

su -c 'yum update tsclient'

Enter the password for the root account when prompted.

	New Software Versions Require Reloading
	If a piece of software is in use when you update it, the old version remains active until the application or service is restarted. Kernel updates take effect when you reboot the system.

To update all of the packages in the package group MySQL Database, enter the command:

su -c 'yum groupupdate "MySQL Database"'

Enter the password for the root account when prompted.

	Updating the Entire System
	To update all of the packages on your CentOS system, use the commands described in Section 6, “Updating Your System with yum”.

Removing Software with yum

To remove software, yum examines your system for both the specified software, and any software which claims it as a dependency. The transaction to remove the software deletes both the software and the dependencies.
To remove the tsclient package from your system, use the command:

su -c 'yum remove tsclient'

Enter the password for the root account when prompted.
To remove all of the packages in the package group MySQL Database, enter the command:

su -c 'yum groupremove "MySQL Database"'

Enter the password for the root account when prompted.

	Data and Configuration File Retention
	The removal process leaves user data in place but may remove configuration files in some cases. If a package removal does not include the configuration file, and you reinstall the package later, it may reuse the old configuration file.
