[CentOS] Migrate from RHAS 4 to CentOS 4.2

[Maciej Żenczykowski]

If nothing significant is installed on the server besides the OS, then I'd 
suggest doing a reinstall.

Otherwise what you've written seems OK - except it'd probably make more 
sense to install the most uptodate (ie 4.3 or even 4.3 updates) versions 
of the listed packages.

Cheers,
MaZe.
