question: i can do the same procedure with redhat 4 to centos 4 ??
yes, if you are moving from RHEL4 to CentOS4 then you can just repeat the same process. basically you dont even need yum, just add the required up2date repository info in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, comment out the rhn.redhat.com ones, and you can use up2date to upgrade the machine and install new software like yum.
dont try this with a rhel3 machine and try to move it directly to centos4 :) that might not go as planned.
