+> install all the non-automatic installed packages, copy stuff from the
+> Cauldron partition to the existing one

+> 2. Just attempt to install Cauldron, forcefully reinstall the packages,

+> 3. Somehow export/downgrade the 'rpm5' info to rpm4. Is this possible
+> and how?
+Yes, there's a URPM::DB::convert() function in URPM >= 4.8 which can do this,
+and there's also a standalone utility provided with rpm5
+(/usr/lib/rpm/dbconvert)
+which also can do this.
+
+You want to convert the format from btree, big endian to hash, little
+endian in order
+for the rpmdb to work with rpm <= 5.2.
