Having done several upgrades from CentOS 4 to CentOS 5, my recommendation would be to not even try it. There is all kinds of ugliness left over that has to be cleaned up; I did it in the end, but it took a lot longer than doing a clean install.
That's the point.
The cost to upgrade is probably higher than a clean installation.
It has changed so much between RHEL5 and RHEL6.
I recommend everyone a clean installation.
I think the only 'clean' upgrade I had was Centos 5.2 -> 5.3 and that happened by accident!
Errr, you should be able to 'yum update' any 5.x to any other with few surprises. Did you mean 4.2 as the starting point there?
That was so many upgrades back that you might be right! :)
