Dear all,

I have ended up in a situation where CentOS 5.0 does not work for me -
is it feasible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.6 while the servers are up, or
would the most sensible option be to just reinstall from scratch?


Thanks in advance + best regards
Jan

A reinstall is the only option you have. The differences are to great
to be able to go back to C4.x online.

Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the

How can you say in that way, while I run CentOS 5 happily.

Well - I end up compiling too many things from source, and if that's the
case, I know of distros that I find better suited to that kind of
situation. Most of the things I need seem to be available from contrib
for the 4.x series - hence the question of downgrading.
