=====Check for contrib packages that may need upgrading=====
+
Even though it is recommended that you only upgrade clean machines (e.g. without contribs or other modifications), it may be possible that you have a contrib installed that you forgot about. After the upgrade, use the following command to see if there are any remaining '''el4''' packages installed that may require an upgrade from the smecontribs repository.
+
+
rpm -qa | grep el4
+
+
Note that some of the contribs packages may be listed as an '''el4''' package but function correctly on SME8. Check the [[SME8.0_Contribs_QA]] pages for more information.
