[CentOS] CentOS 5 beta upgrade path
How hard would it be to upgrade from CentOs 5 beta to the released version? Would it be as simple as a yum upgrade or would I have to upgrade via booting from cd/dvd/pxe ? Pardon my ignorance if this has been asked already -Eric

If you can wait, Centos 5 will probably be out in 2 weeks or so. At least that is what it seemed to take for V4 from freeze to release. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

This package was removed upstream. Also take care of at least one group of packages manually (Image-Magick*) as they were labeled as .fc6 in the Beta and are .el5 in the release (aslo done upstream). There may be more as we test ... but it seems that it will be fairly easy to upgrade the beta to Final.
