Migrate RHEL to CentOS

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

For those of you interested in using CentOS instead of RHEL you don’t need to reinstall. By following these instructions you will convert an existing RHEL4 server over to CentOS 4:

I downloaded the following files from a CentOS mirror into an empty directory:

centos-release-4-2.1.i386.rpm
centos-yumconf-4-4.3.noarch.rpm
python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.i386.rpm
python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm
python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-2.noarch.rpm
RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
sqlite-3.2.2-1.i386.rpm
yum-2.4.0-1.centos4.noarch.rpm

Then ran:

rpm –import RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
rpm -e –nodeps redhat-release
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

then

yum upgrade
