<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are RHEL subscribers but one of our systems is on a completely private network. The only way to move data to/from this system is via CD or tape. Obviously, this system cannot run up2date. Is it possible for me to export the list of installed rpms (rpm -qa) on the private box and use my online RHEL box run up2date and essentially proxy all the requests? </FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It's pretty easy for me to take the package list (732 rpms) and force downloads via some simple scripts. But that seems wasteful. I doubt I'm the first user to have a private RHEL box, how do you keep them updated?</FONT></P>
