oops, eat my words, here's RHEL3

IIRC, the procedure for RHEL4->CentOS4 is somewhere between the 3 and 5
process. you need to install yum and the repo files as well as the
centos keys, then do the rest ...
note all these procedures will result in a hybrid system where some of
your packages are from the upstream vendor, and others from the centos
project. while this SHOULD work together OK, and many of us have done
exactly that, it is officially UNTESTED and you're on your own.
