Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Updating Red Hat from RH4 to the latest Post 302396836 by Eronysis on Friday 19th of February 2010 12:21:54 PM

Assuming you are talking about effectively up2dating your existing installation and not upgrading to 5x:

You "could" conceivably rollback or "downgrade" each package individually based on dependencies...

The catch (and a very nasty one here) is in order to perform a rollback you will need access to every old RPM and dependency RPM for the current installation of the system.

In short, it is "possible" but not easy or safe at all.
