I manually installed the centos-yumcache. But what to do next to upgrade your box from 3.3 => 3.4 ?
Thanks for your help.

It was in your post :)
<snip>
To manually upgrade to CentOS-3.4 (now)
first
rpm -ivh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-yumcache-3.1-...
(to avoid the header downloads)
(Note: If you had poreviously upgraded from CentOS 3.1 then you will already have a cento s-yumcache rpm installed and rpm will complain , in which case use rpm -Fvh)
rpm -Fvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-release-3-4.2...
(to get the new releasever)
then
yum update
</snip>
So, force the install of centos-release-3-4.2.i386.rpm ... verify your /etc/yum.conf points to (for addons):
http://xxx.whatever.com/xxx/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch
(you would do the same for all the other sections besides addons that you want upgrades for ... like extras, os, contrib, centosplus, updates ... the xxx.wahtever.com/xxx are madeup, the path after /centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch is what is important)
Here is an example yum.conf file that works:
