Let me say it again ... moving from CentOS-4.0 to CentOS-4.1 is not changing to a new major release, it is just applying normally released updates ... except, at that point, there are new ISOs, with new hardware supported at install time.
So the CentOS release model is very much like the upstream one, if you run an update, you are at the latest versions for your release tree ... exactly like upstream.
This all makes perfect sense to me and sounds like a very reasonable scheme. In fact, it's one of the reasons I was suprised by the lack of 4.1 src.rpms. Which I know I keep harping about. :)
Thanks for this clarification Johnny. I also thought that a lot of people were confused about the releases...
It's simple, just update with yum or up2date :).
Did you put this page somewhere on the web so that we can send a link to confused newcomers?
Thanks,
