Fred,

I haven't _heard_ of anyone having problems with the conversion, but _I_
did have one small issue.  I have a box that I had to compile a custom
kernel (i586), which isn't supported...an unsupported arch.  On that
box, I too had setup additional repos for yum and used the protectbase
option.  What the issue boiled down to was that the tao-release package
wasn't removed/replaced by the equivalent from CentOS during the
conversion.  I'm not sure if it was the arch or yum option, but that
particular box did have an issue.

Although we didn't have a lot of Tao boxes, I've successfully and
without flaw, converted 8 boxes so far.  The i586 box simply had to have
the tao-release package removed, and then all was copacetic.

Hope this will help during your conversion.
