How do I do this frim the Root?

If you're responding to my post about updating to 7.1 using the CD, there's no 'root' involved:

1) Download the 7.1 iso to a computer with a CD-RW drive
2) Burn the iso onto a CDR
3) reboot your SME server using the 7.1 CD

The installation should recognize that you have SME installed already, and should either do an upgrade installation or should at least offer to do an upgrade.

This is how all of the SME 7.0 RCx versions worked; I have NOT done a CD-based upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1.

That's incorrect

The instruction you were given was:

rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

Note that rm = remove
by removing the yum_repositories db file, the system will automatically recreate it (with correct values) when you do the post-upgrade & reboot
as original templates are expanded

If you used
rpm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
......

Then that would have done nothing as that is the rpm command used to install rpms (and there were no install switches specified and no rpm name specified either).
