(sorry about the html - it keeps the long lines together)
You could just paste these lines into a terminal
rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-3
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-
release-3-4.2.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/yum-2.0.8-1.centos.7.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-
yumcache-3.1-0.20050105.3.noarch.rpm
yum update
