Hi All:

I recently received a new server system that has Centos 6.5 installed on it.  I would like to change that to a Scientific Linux 6.5 system without having to do a full reinstall, as this has no external media access except for the network.

Is is possible to do something like what is done for a minor version upgrade, where I change what repos it is pointing to, and do a yum update to get the differences.  Will this work? 

Your assistance is appreciated.

Sincerely

Jim
