[rhn-users] Install a new RHEL WS 3.0

[Scott Sibert]

1. You can rename the files just fine with no repurcussion.

2. You can install the Update2 directly without installing a previous
"version."  This update is a full compilation with all of the updated
packages bundled in one install.

3. The MD5 Checksum:  on your downloaded files (go ahead and rename
them to whatever you want) run:  md5sum file1.iso (where file1.iso is
the name of one of your freshly downloaded ISO files) and it will
compute the MD5 checksum.  Compare this, character-by-character, with
what RHN has for that file's checksum to verify the integrity of your
downloaded file.  If it differs, redownload the file.

Hello rhn-users.



I'm a Newbie and have little problems with the installation of my new
RHEL WS 3.0.



1) Is it possible to cut the long file-names of the downloades
iso-images. The original file-name is for example
"rhel-3-U2-i386-ws-disc1.iso?auth=%2F1084986726%2Ff6dc7de32f34d35db3b16c5b649c4420b29755f3%2F2436812%2F9282".
Could I rename the long file-name into the short one :
"rhel-3-U2-i386-ws-disc1.iso" and then burn the iso-images on cd-r?

2) Could I install directly the update-2-version, or must I first
install the "original"-version, then the update-1-version and then the
update-2-version of RHEL WS 3.0?

3) What's I have to do with the "MD5 Checksum"?



For help on this questions I would thank you very much.



Best regards,

tux-attila.
