Mike is exactly right ...

All CentOS installs are upgradeable with the major version via yum at all times. (That is, any CentOS-4 is upgradable to the latest CentOS-4.x version via yum ... any CentOS-3 is upgradeable to any CentOS-3.x, etc.)

What is not recommended (for yum) is upgrading between major versions ... ie upgrading via yum to CentOS-4 from CentOS-3. In fact, we recommend that you backup data, do a new install and move your data over when you move from one major CentOS version to another.

I did answer part of this on the previous one, to Mike.

I did before successfully upgrades from RH9 even, to Centos4, using the CD's set, without a problem
