4.92 beta update to centos5 proper words of caution

["Jim Perrin" <jperrin@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those of you who are going to do the update from the centos5 beta
to centos 5 proper despite the warnings, this is a(n incomplete) list
of instructions for how to accomplish this

1. Get yourself into runlevel 3 (telinit 3 from terminal) as the dbus
update will die if you're in X.
2. Setenforce 0 # turn off selinux as there have been some unconfirmed
reports that it will interfere with the updates.
3. yum update
4. rpm -qa release="*fc6*" # this will let you find and identify the
packages which had the release string changed from fc6 to el5.
5. manually update these rpms to the corresponding proper versions for
centos5 proper.  I'm not sure how many of these there actually are, so
follow-ups to this post are welcomed.

If these instructions need to be modified, or are incorrect, please
reply with corrections and/or additions.
