Kudos for CentOS which rids me of this menace.
Still 4.0 -> 4.3 is a big upgrade and
selinux/yum/apt
have all changed.
I dont see how that is relevant in this case....
There is no need for a high-handed response.
the main point for the existence of CentOS is to offer a stable and upgradeable distro with a long life ( & a nice price tag ). You've just hacked that off by saying the best way to move between update cycles within the same release is to backup data and reinstall using CD..... :)

As you can see in this thread http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-March/062793.html I took my cleanly installed 4.2 and yummed it to 4.3. That avoided the hassles of 4.1 -> 4.2 plus I had a nicer partitions. Because i had experimented with packages from non-base/didn't have the yum plugins as i do now, I felt i would get a consistent experience with a clean reinstall.
One of the systems had centos 3.5 (from which i saved the htsearch in the previous seach post) which i felt was not giving me maximum returns. A clean install is in order for 3 -> 4
Because i have learned from the 4.1 era, i will not experiment with packages and will yum my way to 4.4 and beyond.
It is however prudent to hear from the original poster why he is still on 4.0 and avoid sideshows? Don't you agree?
