Ok... after finding this thread I was curious, so I followed a few of
the steps - skipped the part about removing all packages marked fc6
although I did id them and decided there were just too damn many to
bother removing them - installed the "el" centos-release packages and
then dropped out to a tty screen.

ran "yum -y update" and it went flawlessly. Upgraded my CentOS 5Beta2
workstation with no even a hiccup.

SWEET!
