OK that is a bit out of date and does not reference 64 bit
architectures.   Here is what I did


mkdir /root/centos
cd /root/centos
wget http://vault.centos.org/5.0/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm
wget http://vault.centos.org/5.0/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release-notes redhat-release yum-rhn-plugin redhat-logos
rpm -ivh *.rpm
yum -y update


And it all looks good!
