Hi , I''ve got a question about CentOS 4: -Can I upgrade CentoS 3.* to CentOS4 with yum or do I have to use the cd-rom and linux upgradeany option? -Are there any CentOS 4 mirrors (updates/packages etc?) I found one on belnet.be but it hadn''t had any updates? Thanks in advance. -- Michiel

You will be on the safe side, when you upgrade via booting form the CentOS-4 installation disc. At the initial prompt enter: linux upgradeany This will do the trick and perform upgrades via anaconda. Chances are pretty good that you will then have a working, upgraded system.> -Are there any CentOS 4 mirrors (updates/packages etc?)http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 is your friend. There are quite a lot which have fully synced with all the new packages. May I suggest to browse the list and check with a mirror near you? E.g. in my case it''s Germany and the TU Chemnitz mirror has all packages already synced. Hope this helps. Daniel S.

Mine ( http://archive.cs.uu.nl/mirror/Linux/cAos/ ) is now busy restoring large parts of the 3.x stuff which I lost last night (because of changes in symlinks/dirs?). But I think the 4.0 stuff is complete.

I think it is in sync now. Also the gone 3.x stuff is back (took some hours).
