Hey Scott, any idea when you'll be supporting CentOS 4? I have a couple of servers that I would like to convert from RH9 using PLesk 7.5.4 and would like to use version 4 instead of 3.

Thanks for all of your work,

Yes, Im really building all the 4ES rpms on CentOS4, so you'll want to use "4ES" instead of $releasever in the yum.conf. This is true for both 4ES and CentOS users, otherwise that should be it.

Scott, quick question. Do I need to change /etc/redhat-release from CentOS to RedHat Enterprise?

OK, that didn't work. I did a fresh install of CentOS 4.1, edited the yum.conf file as you instructed.

Then I tried importing the key:
[root@server2 ~]# rpm --import /home/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
error: /home/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt: import read failed.

So I did: #rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY* and I guess it took. But when I tried to install psa:

[root@server2 ~]# yum install psa

Argghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott, I hate to be a pain .....

I tried to install qmail-scanner and got an error that tnef was needed and not available. I went into your rhel3 repo and installed tnef from there. Then qmail-scanner installed with no problem.

Just thought you'd like to know.
