CentOS - Aug 2006 - How do I revert back to a non-CentOSPlus install?

I installed PHP 5.0.4 from the CentOSPlus repo a week ago, but now the yum
cronjob seems to have upgraded to a new kernel, a new MySQL and god knows what
else. Big mistake.

How do I (safely) revert back to the stock CentOS 4.3 rpms? I want to keep PHP
5.0.4, but that's it.

Is there a cleaner way than uninstalling the rpms, editing the repo file and the
(re)installing from base?

I just recently learned about the protectbase plugin, which I intend to use from
here on out. The damage is done though.

This question is a repost from the forums. They sadly don't seem to recieve
much traffic.


Best regards,
Jens

What is the protect base plugin and will it work with EL 4?
