I've done it a few times myself. I really wouldn't suggest it unless
its absolutely necessary. Here is a howto, which i've used once or
twice without issue:

Dr Tru has released some RPMs on the list previously, and I tested it once
and it works quite well. Here's what's posted:

all the files are here:

ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum

</blurb>
<howto>

1) wget ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/BIS/tru/2.6_CentOS-3/yum.conf.mini

use sudo or become root

2) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y update

3) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install initscripts_26
either install you own linux-2.6.x kernel or

4a) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux linux-doc
4b) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-smp
4c) yum -c yum.conf.mini -y install linux-source

reboot

</howto>
