OK - here's my methodology for upgrading in case it helps someone

cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release-saved
rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release-notes \
 redhat-releaserpm \
 yum-rhn-plugin \
 redhat-logos
rpm -ivh \

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2.i386.rpm \

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.0.0-2.i386.rpm
yum update

Seems to have worked just fine (redhat-logos replaced automatically as a
dependency)

Thanks for the help, sorry about the html but I the long lines were
breaking
