Personally, I would just install WhiteBox EL or CentOS. You are going
to have issues with things like /etc/redhat-release otherwise ... and
you may have other things that were modified to remove logos /
trademarks etc some of which will be updated ... others may not be.
Why chance problems ... just install whitebox. AND you won't have to
worry about RH canceling your other subscription for breach of
contract...

Can I install from the RH CD's and then use YUM to update my packages
and kernel, using the WBEL mirrors?
