Dear all,
I have ended up in a situation where CentOS 5.0 does not work for me - is it feasible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.6 while the servers are up, or would the most sensible option be to just reinstall from scratch?
Thanks in advance + best regards Jan

A reinstall is the only option you have. The differences are to great to be able to go back to C4.x online.

How can you say in that way, while I run CentOS 5 happily.

Well - I end up compiling too many things from source, and if that's the case, I know of distros that I find better suited to that kind of situation. Most of the things I need seem to be available from contrib for the 4.x series - hence the question of downgrading.
