My sympathies go out to you. :-)

I have never actually tried to do the upgrade but years ago when RHEL (then
called 2.1AS) was new, I used a 7.3 system to build the 2.1AS rpms. The
biggest problem I had was that some of the 7.3 packages were newer then the
2.1AS packages. IIRC 2.1AS was based off of RHL 7.2.

I suspect that trying to do the upgrade from 7.3 to CentOS2.1, _might_ leave
you with some packages not up to date.

Good luck!!
