[rhn-users] How to apply patches

[Samer Azmy]

Hello,

to apply all the errata or not , depends on your environment (But I
recommend you do, IF it will not effect any of th running services
compatibility)

and I Recommend not to upgrade kernel (make package exclude for kernel
packages) as this may have impact on some drivers on your drivers - like
RAID drivers-

Good Luck

Keep me posted if you needed anything

Regards
Samer
