Migrating from RHEL 4 to CentOS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Will this work for updating from CentOS-3 to CentOS-4 as well? 
Everything I've seen so far seems to be recommending a complete 
re-install.  I've not gotten the opportunity to test it myself, but
if I update those three rpms, can I upgrade -3?
