Just for grins, I did a VMware install of CentOS 4.3 Workstation+KDE (didn't have a 4.4 DVD lying around) and immediately updated to RHEL5-Beta with "linux upgradeany". The upgraded VM worked (booted at least) but did 600+ updates on the first "yum update" with yum repos pointed to a directory tree of all the current RHEL5 Workstation Beta packages. Apparently anaconda didn't see all the available packages due to the product key I used. After the update, there were still several dozen orphan CentOS4 packages left over according to "rpm -qa --last". So, based on this quick/dirty test - looks like update will be possible, but as usual, not easy or to-be-recommended. Phil
