Would I have to use each RPM in order, or are they "cumulative" (i.e., I can go from 2.4.21-47 to 2.4.21-63 without using all the intermediate RPMs, or do I need each one in order)?
Since there are a few missing, I think that indicates that not every RPM build made it to release prior to the next one coming out, and so they were rolled together (e.g., the kernel RPMs 2.4.21-54, 55, 56, 59, 61 and 62 are missing from the CentOS archive - since they never existed, rather than just "missing") - right? Google shows no match for missing kernel RPM #s listed above. I'm assuming that each RPM would build on the changes from the previous RPM (i.e., include the full kernel), so I'd only need to install the latest RPM - right? Thanks again!

Centos's major releases lag 4-8 weeks behind the RH versions. This translates to the Centos mirrors living the same period after a RH version is EOL'd. I've patched RHAS2.1 boxes with centos updates in the past.

Is there some way to know how that translates to kernel.org versions (or are they patches to 2.4.21 put out to fix CVE issues)? Or how other CentOS RPMs there translate to "vendor versions" (BIND shows 9.2.4-25, but ISC's named versions are at 9.4.x and 9.6.x, etc.)? Thanks!
