The RPM should be all you will need. The specific packages is for those 
who need to be creative. You should be able to shutdown the backend and 
frontends. Install the packages. Run mythtv-setup and run thru the 
screens. Start the backend and frontends and enjoy your new system.

PS - Be sure to reset your theme to G.A.N.T. before upgrading to avoid 
the issue with old themes. That may be fixed by now but just to be safe 
revert to the default theme.
