There are a couple other things to worry about ... centos-release, the
yum configuration, importing the key we use to sign packages, etc.
here is a guide from going to centos-3 from wbel-3 ... doing it for
centos-4 is similar ... look for RPMS in the /4/ hive and not the /3/
hive ... use the centos-4 signing key, not the centos-3 one ... there is
no centos-yumcache in centos-4.
CentOS-4 has a /etc/yum.conf AND a /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with a
file named CentOS-Base.repo, there is a whitebox file
in /etc/yum.repos.d that you would want to remove.
Other than that, the method is the same:

I might recommend that you also do:
rpm -e whitebox-release
