Hi, I've got a couple of servers that are running WBEL4 that I would like to upgrade to CentOS4. I noticed that there is a FAQ which explains how to upgrade WBEL3 to CentOS3, but haven't found anything similar for WBEL4. Are the instructions for the WBEL3 upgrade the same for WBEL4? Should I be doing something else instead? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

You will find many converts from Whitebox here. Whitebox was great, but I think John has never had the time to get back into things since Katrina. I hear that the infrastructure in Louisiana is still very unstable. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

The paths for the rpms were different is about the only thing if I remember correctly was what I had to change.
