Thanks, Reindl. It would be even better if I could undo the last
updates from inside the emergency mode. Is it possible?
if you can activate network and the rootfs is mounted rw or can
be remounted rw give it a chance - if not yum would simply not
work and so i see no high danger here, however backups are
always good
