So did anybody on the list do > such an upgrade, and was it all 100% ok ? Its quite clearly indicated in the release notes that a cross Version upgrade from CentOS3 to CentOS4 is not supported. This issue has been covered in details previously on the list a few times, you might want to search the archives to see what people had to say. In a nutshell, unless you really understand the implications of upgrading using up2date or yum, reinstall is the best option ( or in a pinch, use the upgradeany install option after you remove all third party rpm's and packages ). - K -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
