For those of you who are going to do the update from the centos5 beta to centos 5 proper despite the warnings, this is a(n incomplete) list of instructions for how to accomplish this 1. Get yourself into runlevel 3 (telinit 3 from terminal) as the dbus update will die if you're in X. 2. Setenforce 0 # turn off selinux as there have been some unconfirmed reports that it will interfere with the updates. 3. yum update 4. rpm -qa release="*fc6*" # this will let you find and identify the packages which had the release string changed from fc6 to el5. 5. manually update these rpms to the corresponding proper versions for centos5 proper. I'm not sure how many of these there actually are, so follow-ups to this post are welcomed. If these instructions need to be modified, or are incorrect, please reply with corrections and/or additions. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
