Dear Barry thank You for quick response.
It seems, i did not explain my goal clearly. I just need to update my
existing software on the server which was installed with RHEL AS4, and
also i need to install the critical updates and patches released by
Redhat.
I don't know about mrepo.Will that be useful in this issue?
