Thanks, that might work out too. Hehe, about the second one, it is the same old tried story, I and other linux admins joined recently and fixing up stuff slowly. The systems we could touch, are already getting patched from our local repos (which never existed before), however there is too much work (qa team has backlog) etc involved when patching some of the mc systems instead we found it easier to duplicate the system with 5.4 but its been sitting for a few months waiting for qa team :(
If you scared of centos 4.1, we also have some gentoo systems :( they will be replaced by CentOS 5.x systems as well soon* ________________________________ From: Ross Walker <rswwal...@gmail.com> To: CentOS mailing list <centos@centos.org> Cc: CentOS mailing list <centos@centos.org> Sent: Fri, May 14, 2010 8:52:57 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS] upgrading to a minor release 4.1 to 4.2 On May 14, 2010, at 8:51 AM, Kwan Lowe <kwan.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 12:37 AM, sheraz naz <sheraz...@yahoo.com> > wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I need to upgrade a system running 4.1 to 4.2, but before I do I >> want to >> list out all the packages that will be updated/installed/removed.

Point your system to that > repository then run the update. Or edit your repo file and point /4/ to /4.2/ on the archive server. The .X releases are service packs, I understand wanting to delay the upgrade until further testing, but 4 years, damn, what have you guys been doing all this time? -Ross _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
