I installed the version 5.8 Beta wrongly. And I would do the UPDATE to version 5.8 stable, it is possible? I remember that I have to stay on the same version, just change the BETA to stable.

Unfortunately, there is no supported upgrade path from Beta to GA. Please perform a reinstallation using the GA installation media.

What does beta mean in RHEL and how to upgrade the beta version to non-beta or General Availability (GA) version?
