It really isn't too bad, though it takes a while (depending on your hardware). If you search the archives of this list you will find some info, in particular links to sites with information on compiling for CentOS 5 and lists of items you can install as RPMs from your current repos that will get you along in the process. I did it a while back and posted everything I found to this list. I didn't maintain my notes and got distracted by other projects, so I can't really be much help now other than to point you to the list archives and Google. Good luck.
