As a former summer employee of ORINS and ORNL during my college years in the 60s (and therefore somewhat biased) and now a rural ISP with all the dependencies that implies regarding support from the greater Internet community, I agree with Christopher and Bart about the justification for moving from CentOS to SL. So, today I used Phil's stanza and wound up with the results below the si g. The list below the sig was truncated (right or wrong) by, e.g., rpm --Uvh --force http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/55/i386/SL/basesystem-8. 0- 5.1.1.noarch.rpm However, the following remain: [root@shell work-2011-01-25-migrate-centos55-to-scientific-linux55]# yum list installed | grep -i centos geronimo-specs.i386 1.0-0.M2.2jpp.12.el5.centos installed geronimo-specs-compat.i386 1.0-0.M2.2jpp.12.el5.centos installed nss.i386 3.12.8-1.el5.centos installed nss-devel.i386 3.12.8-1.el5.centos installed nss-tools.i386 3.12.8-1.el5.centos installed [root@shell work-2011-01-25-migrate-centos55-to-scientific-linux55]# Further, 'rpm -ivh' using the SL kernel rpms fails with messages like [root@shell SL-rpms]# rpm -ivh kernel* warning: kernel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 192a7d7d Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.i386 is already instal led package kernel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.i686 is already installed package kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.i686 is already installe d file /boot/.vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.hmac from install of kern el- 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.i686 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18- 194.32.1.el5.i686 file /boot/System.map-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 from install of kernel- 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.i686 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18- 194.32.1.el5.i686 file /boot/config-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 from install of kernel-2.6. 18- 194.32.1.el5.i686 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18- 194.32.1.el5.i686 What did I do wrong and/or how do I fix this? Returning to Phil's comments, how do I know when and whether the migratio n was complete and correct?
