I would like to try to switch from CentOS 3.4 => CentOS 4 beta.
This is not the 'RHEL 4 => CentOS 4' which your subject indicated; A daring move -- I am still getting kernel lockups when running X under the centos-4-beta2 candidate
-is possible to upadte/upgrade my test box from 3.4 => 4 and what are the yum.conf settings/requirements?
This is not fully tested yet -- For testing purposes, I have the beta ISO's loop mounted in a local mirror archive and point my yum.conf at that local archive. See my scripts at: ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/k12ltsp and particularly install-from-iso.sh and the writeup on their use at: http://www.owlriver.com/tips/pxe-install/ and the more general treatment at: http://www.owlriver.com/tips/centos-31-ex-rhl-9/
-is it easy to update your CentOS 4 beta => CentOS 4 when the stable version comes out?
<smile> This would be predicting hte future, of course; it is doable presently with the latter page's method. 'easy' is a value judgment.
Good luck -- feel free to ask questions and share expereinces here.
