Just for the record, when I said "the RHEL installer" I meant exactly that -- the bootable installer on the ISO images; not yum or rpm doing a package-by-package upgrade. If there's some way to pass an --updateany flag to the boot installer you should tell the CentOS mailing list about it, because they seem pretty convinced that there is no upgrade path when doing a CDROM install. (End of this thread, for me. Thanks, to others who made suggestions.)
