Not sure if this will help, but I went the other way from CentOS to
RedHat by grabbing a list of packages with "rpm -qa", cleaning up the
package names a bit, installing a base RedHat based on the same update
level, then "yum update" or "yum install"ing from the list of
packages. Next I diffed the configuration directories and manually
moved the changed files. Finally just backed up/restored the database
and application LVMs (dd/gzip the entire partition).
