2.2.2.2. 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 Update Agent 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.
2.2.2.2.1. Gathering RPM Database Information
Only those packages you choose during this part of the registration will be included in your System
Profile, and you will receive notifications only 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 modified through the Red Hat Network Web interface or by using the
Red Hat Update Agent. Figure 2-9 shows the progress bar you will see while the Red Hat Update
Agent gathers a list of the RPM packages installed on your system. This operation may take some
time, depending on your system installation.
