Thanks! BUt the real reason is that the developer wants the environment to be as close as possible to the rhel 4.4.

Thanks for the heads up on the yum.

I suppose that the valid reason you'll invoke is 'i have a driver disk built for rhel4u4 and then i really need CentOS 4.4' ... Ok, here it is : http://vault.centos.org

But don't forget that on the first `yum update` you'll automatically jump to 4.5 ...

You might remind your developer about security updates. RHEL 4.4 is no longer supported by RH as update 5 is current. It's RHEL 4, plus updates all updates to this point.

You have a very valid point about security. It's a constant battle. However, RH still does support all versions of 4.

As noted by Jim , RH still support version 4, but with updates applied to u5 so 4.5 ...

If possible, that developer needs to be stopped. Although RHEL 5 is apparently going to work that way, there is no such thing as RHEL 4.4 -- only RHEL 4 update 4, which is *supplanted* by update 5.
