As you can see in this thread
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-March/062793.html
I took my cleanly installed 4.2 and yummed it to 4.3.
That avoided the hassles of 4.1 -> 4.2 plus I had a
nicer partitions. Because i had experimented with
packages from non-base/didn't have the yum plugins as
i do now, I felt i would get a consistent experience
with a clean reinstall.
One of the systems had centos 3.5 (from which i saved
the htsearch in the previous seach post) which i felt
was not giving me maximum returns. A clean install is
in order for 3 -> 4
Because i have learned from the 4.1 era, i will not
experiment with packages and will yum my way to 4.4
and beyond.
It is however prudent to hear from the original poster
why he is still on 4.0 and avoid sideshows? Don't you agree?
