[Spacewalk-list] Rollback in Spacewalk

[Jason M. Nielsen]

Upgrading from one major release version to another, for instance 4 to 
5, is not "supported" by Red Hat. It can be done but you are on your own 
and usually it is done via booting off install media or similar. Also 
there is no real easy method of a rollback aside from a backup/snapshot. 
I have done this but I strongly recommend you opt for a clean install. 
It will be less of a headache in the long run.  Best build a new system 
and set it up as close as possible to the other then migrate via 
something like a DNS/hostname change.
