thanks for help Sven
I've done it a few times myself. I really wouldn't suggest it unless its absolutely necessary. Here is a howto, which i've used once or twice without issue: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=288914
Dr Tru has released some RPMs on the list previously, and I tested it once and it works quite well. Here's what's posted:
all the files are here:
ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum
</blurb> <howto>
1) wget ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum.conf.mini
use sudo or become root
2) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y update
3) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install initscripts_26 either install you own linux-2.6.x kernel or
4a) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux linux-doc 4b) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-smp 4c) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-source
reboot
