2.4.2 Software System Profile
The software System Profile consists of a list of RPM packages for which you wish to receive notifi-
cations. The Red Hat Network Registration Client shows you a list of all RPM packages listed in
the RPM database on your system and then allows you to customize the list by deselecting packages.
Gathering RPM Database Information
Only those packages you choose during this part of the registration will be included in in your System
Profile, and you will only receive notifications about the packages in your System Profile. Thus, if
you use an older version of a package and deselect it from the list, it will not be replaced with a newer
version. This RPM list can be modifed through the Red Hat Network web interface or by using the
Red Hat Update Agent. As shown in Figure 2–8, Registration Wizard , querying the RPM database
may take some time depending on your system.
