what version of RH was installed previously ... if it was already 7.2,
then an upgrade won't do anything (it only checks the RPM database, not
the actual files, for things that need to be upgraded)... makes sense
that it was fast if you were trying to upgrade 7.2 with 7.2, since all
versions in the RPM database on your hdd would be >= to the versions on
the cds...
