I would like to thank all of you who responded to my question about
upgrading RH 7.3 to RH 8.0.

After the intial upgrade attempt, I tried two more times to do a partial
upgrade of the components that did not upgrade the first time.  This did not
work, and I finally gave up and did a clean installation.  I lost my Java,
Ruby and Blender applications but the languages needed upgrading anyhow.
Blender never did work properly.

I noticed that 8.0 uses Open Office as its default office program instead of
KOffice.  This my be why it did not upgrade the KOffice links.

The text and graphics are so much better in RH 8.0.  A big improvement over
previous versions.  Too bad the upgrading didn't work.
