Using Red Hat Network with Red Hat Linux 6.2
7 Using Red Hat Network with Red Hat
Linux 6.2
Red Hat Linux 6.2 shipped with a program named Red Hat Update Agent (up2date). However,
this version of Red Hat Update Agent can not be used to connect to Red Hat Network to receive
package updates. You need a new version of the Red Hat Update Agent and the Red Hat Network
Registration Client to use Red Hat Network on a Red Hat Linux 6.2 system.
To download and install these programs, use the following steps:
1.
In a shell prompt, login as root and execute the command mkdir rhnpackages to create a
new directory in which to download the packages.
2.
In the same shell prompt, execute the command cd rhnpackages to change to the new direc-
tory.
3.
Download the following packages in the new rhnpackages directory: (You might need hold
down the
key and then left-click on the filename to save it or right-click the file and choose
[Shift]
Save.)
