[rhn-users] How to apply patches

[d.qureshi at mdx.ac.uk]

Hi,

I have gone to the RHN web page and selected one system then clicked on manage.I can see
that there are 387 erratas and 286 packges listed for this system.

Do I need to apply all 387 erratas listed to my system?

Also do I need to apply all 286 packages listed to my system?

Also if run the up2date command will it apply all 387 erratas to my system?

Thanks


Hello,

from Shell you can
1) yum update

>From GUI/X-Windows
1) you can run from shell up2date
2) System Tools Menu --> Redhat Network (it is the same as if you launch
up2date)

Good Luck

Kind Regards
Samer Azmy
