Unlike FC7T2, CentOS 5 Beta does not seem to pick up Yum updates. Is this by design or do I need to add repos to my /etc/yum.repos.d?
The beta does not receive any updates. The final CentOS 5 will receive updates without fiddling with the configuration.
Had you read the Release Notes, you might have found the following paragraph in there:
I confess to not reading all the release notes. My interest in the CentOS beta came from the fact that a number of things which were broken going from FC4 to FC6 which annoyed me. I discovered that FC7T2 maintains the broken state (there are open bugzillas) and CentOS 5 inherits them.
In particular. The gnome applets which show CPU/disk/network/etc. utilization have a hover popup which shows the numeric value. Prior to FC6, it changed once a second if you hovered the cursor. It no longer updates. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217440
Updates to gnome startup cause multiple occurances of some applications to be ignored. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341286
