Title says it all, anyone know how to uninstall service pack 2 from Redhat ES 4.0?

I've goggled it and looking in the redhat knowledge base and I'm going to ask Redhat next, but asking here in case anyone knows.

Thanks

I assume by removal of sp2 you mean downgrading update 2 to update 1. I can tell you this is def. not something that redhat supports. I imagine you would have to get all the rpms for update1 and then do some sort of rpm trickery to force it to install all the old packages, something like "rpm -U --oldpackage *.rpm"

It's not something I, nor Red Hat, would recommend and I wouldn't do it on a production box first.
