[Centos] Upgrading FC2 -> Centos4RC1 (possible, but messy)

[Matt Bottrell]

Thanks for writing back in Michael...

Was starting to think 'poor bloke... he'll think we're ganging up on him'.

Yeah agree... for a 'try and see' it's reasonable to try... agree...
for the server... prudent to do the advised way... and reinstall.

I did a FC2 -> FC3 upgrade recently... and it left the system in a
mess... (My current desktop.. .waiting for Centos V4 final) ... I
ended up reinstalling as a result.

As you previously stated... YMMV.

Cheers,

Matt.
