I have boxes on CentOS 4.2 that I want to move to CentOS5.
Are there any problems envisaged in trying to move 4.2->4.3, 4.3->4.4 and 4.4->5.0, using yum upgrade and changing the repositories at each stage?
just do a `yum update` on your '4.2' system, and it will be '4.4' and then some.
as far as the 4 -> 5 conversion, I don't like doing major version upgrades, I'd rather backup all config and data, clean install, and redeploy on the new system. or, better, bring up the new OS on a new box, then migrate the apps.
