Subject: Re: [Centos] HOWTO? Upgrade Centos-2 to Centos-3
John Newbin has been working on a migration center. It may have some useful information; get it here:

Correct me if I am wrong, but centos 2 is based off or redhat 7.2, so it may work.
Check out the CentOS/RedHat family tree at the bottom of the migration center.
BTW, I recently did a desktop install RedHat 9 to CentOS-3 migration as an experiment. There were come package incompatibilities that blocked the migration via YUM, so I did "yum remove" on each package that yum complained about. After removing a couple of rpm's, the migration went ahead. Afterward, I did "yum install" to put the packages back that I had removed. That seems to be a successful approach.

I wrote a pretty simple howto for redhat 9 - centos 3.1 a while back. I know of a few that have gone from 7.3 to centos 3.1, with this howto, so perhaps it may help in your case. Correct me if I am wrong but centos 2 is based off or redhat 7.2, so it may work. Of course, i wouldn't try this on a production box first off:
