[rhn-users] How to apply patches

Tue Jan 16 18:08:51 UTC 2007

Hello Danesh,

Happy to hear that you are done with the updates

About Kenel updates :
1) Check if this kernel update will effect any of your loaded/running system
driver (specially from my point of View RAID/SCSI)
2) IF it will not effect your driver , go for it
3) if you are not sure, do not go for it

Do you have a firewall , what are the services that are running ? - that may
help you to decide if you will go for the kernel updates

I do not recommend Kernel Updates ! - But ....

Good luck, and keep me posted if you needed anything

Regards
Samer Azmy
