<DIV><SPAN class=480125915-19042004><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Have not been able
to get Up2date to complete successfully. It was suggested that I manually
download the up2date files, and update them. The RHN suggested that too,
hinting that the Up2date in the ISO had problems. Unfortunately it
has just been assumed that it would be known what folder to put them
in. Still don't have a clue. I ran "up2date --configure", and copied
down the paths listed there, then I ran "man up2date", where the same paths were
listed, and /var/spool/up2date/ was identified as the one where packages were
placed. I downloaded the files on a functional PC, put them on a CD, then
took them to the tortured and afflicted PC (no no, that's me), and copied them
to /var/spool/up2date/. They then passed the md5sum test. When I ran
RPM -Fhv up2date-* (or -Fvh, it was correct when I did it, I'm now at the
functional PC), something calling itself "Glob" reported that it couldn't find
up2date-*. All this was done with me logged as root and at
/root</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

that if you start VIM as "VIM .." you can explore the folder
structure. Is there another more appropriate tool that can be used for
that when X won't run?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
