Hey folks,
Google found nothing in this list archives for me but did find this : http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-jul-convert-rhel-5-to-centos-5/
Before I just go try that on one of my systems can someone confirm that it works?
I'm running RHEL 5.7 so I guess I'd replace the 5.4 in the URL with 5.7
Basically I let my RHEL licenses run out (never really used them) and am getting warnings now from yum. Want to just switch over to the CentOS repos.
Anything to be wary of doing this?
thanks, -Alan

OK that is a bit out of date and does not reference 64 bit architectures. Here is what I did
mkdir /root/centos cd /root/centos wget http://vault.centos.org/5.0/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos... wget http://vault.centos.org/5.0/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.0.0-2.x8... rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release-notes redhat-release yum-rhn-plugin redhat-logos rpm -ivh *.rpm yum -y update
And it all looks good!

Not quite ... looks like I also need to
rpm --erase rhnsd rhn-setup rhn-setup-gnome
