And the option to further enable external > repositories at install time is now available in the installer. > > This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release > Notes for CentOS-5.4 can be found on-line at : > http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.4 and everyone is > encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through at the > CentOS FAQ's at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ > > +++++++++++++++++++++++ > Upgrading from CentOS-5.3 ( or CentOS-5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 ): > > If you are already running CentOS-5.3 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all > you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : > > 'yum update' > > Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so > you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check > you are indeed on CentOS-5.4, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that > should return: 'centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1' > > > +++++++++++++++++++++++ > LiveCD i386 > > For the first time, we are also releasing the i386 CentOS-5.4 LiveCD at > the same time as the main distro.
