I have a SGI Altix 350 (ia64) that came with RHAS 4, but without any paid support. I would like to migrate the server over to CentOS. Here is what I've pieced together from some older posts by Johnny, can someone confirm this should work? I know this is somewhat covered in the FAQ, although both entries refer to FC or WBEL, which already have built-in yum support.
Install the following files: http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/ia64/CentOS/RPMS/ yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/ia64/CentOS/RPMS/centos- release-4-2.1.ia64.rpm http://vault.centos.org/4.2/os/ia64/CentOS/RPMS/centos- yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm
Edit /etc/yum.conf and perform a "yum update".
Jason ... you will also need to install any yum dependencies ... sqlite, python-urlgrabber, python-elementree, python-sqlite come to mind as probably required as a manual install. I think it should work after that like this.
