Oh, sorry, I thought you said you couldn't upgrade. Have you considered man yum? downgrade Will try and downgrade a package from the version currently installed to the previously highest version (or the specified version). The depsolver will not necessarily work, but if you specify all the packages it should work (and thus. all the simple cases will work). Also this does not work for "installonly" packages, like Kernels. downgrade operates on groups, files, provides and filelists just like the "install" command.

No, won't work.
You can, as someone suggested, back up your files and re-install but there's very little chance application data and files will be compatible.
hmm ok but i can upgrade to 5.3? how can i upgrade to 5.3 but not downgrade to 2.0? On Fri, 2010-04-02 at 14:50 -0400, Kwan Lowe wrote:

You can upgrade to 5.4 (and in a few weeks to 5.5).

If you have the 5.3 media available or are running something like Spacewalk and have "tagged" the set of packages associated with 5.3, then yes, you can upgrade your 5.0 system to 5.3.
If you point your 5.0 installation to the existing CentOS update repositories you will get 5.4 with some extra updates. As Robert informed, in a few weeks, this will be 5.5 and some extra updates.
ok ok ok so centos 2 are so old? On Fri, 2010-04-02 at 21:06 +0200, Niki Kovacs wrote:

You know, I *can* drill a hole into my left kneecap and pour milk into it. The question is: would that be reasonable?
Short answer: no. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

May I strongly suggest that you read up on computers and operating systems? You don't seem to understand what you're asking - it's like asking if, from Windows Vista, you can downgrade to NT 4, and expect anything but text files to be workable.
A subrelease upgrade or downgrade is not that scary - they've been tested a lot, and that's just yum upgrade. But when a new full release comes out - like 4, or 5, or 6, you *really* want to back everything up and do a fresh install; otherwise, there's too many incompatibilities (such as, say, python 2.x.x and 2.y.x), and you're asking for problems.
