Re: How to apply patches

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
